Photoshop quickly turns a red rose into a golden tone

Source: China Tutorial Network Author: Ye Cai The golden coloring in this tutorial is very classic. The general process: first use the application image to remove the green color of the picture, and enhance the highlight brightness of the picture. Then the key step is to load the highlight selection of the red part, create a gradient mapping adjustment layer, set the gradient color appropriately, and the desired effect will be achieved.

1. Open the image, copy one layer, execute Image/Apply Image on the copy, RGB/Multiply, and the texture has begun to appear.

2. Stamp the layer, apply the image again, green/lighten. The goal is to get rid of the green color. We'll do some additional coloring later.

Comparing the three channels, the blue channel can better capture the highlights of water drops and leaves, and the highlights of the blue channel are loaded into the selection. Go to the Layers panel and create a new Curves adjustment layer to brighten the highlights of the water drops and leaves. Keep the leaves from turning gray.


Load the red channel highlight into the selection, create a gradient mapping adjustment layer, select orange-yellow-orange for editing, and add a white color mark in the middle. Without it, the highlight of the water droplets will be gone, haha.


Clean up the mask and use a black brush to paint the parts other than the flowers black on the mask. Use the magnetic lasso to select the entire flower, then invert the selection, add a solid color fill layer, choose a color that contrasts with the gold, and set the mode to Soft Light.


6. Stamp the layer and execute Filter/Noiseware PRfessional to sharpen the texture. The settings are as shown in the figure.

The center of the flower is not obvious enough. Set the feathering value and use the lasso to select this area and use CTRL+F to sharpen it.
