I have posted about infrared photography before, and I thought it looked a bit similar to snow scenes, so I tried it but the effect was not good. I can't find a suitable picture for the moment, so let's discuss it:
Effect
material
The process is briefly described:
01. Open the original image and use [Levels] to increase the brightness of the image and make the green of the trees more obvious.
02. Use [Channel Mixer] and check [Monochrome]
Adjust the RGB percentage. Changes the color of trees to white. .
03. Duplicate the background layer. Adjust [Layer Blending Mode] to [Screen]
04. [CTRL+SHIFT+ALT+E] Create stamp layer
05. Next, find a way to bring the color of the sky back.
[optional color] adjustment
06. [Level] adjustment
07. [Hue Saturation] adjustment
08.
Select the white part of the color range. [ctrl+c] Copy [ctrl+v] Paste in new layer.
09. [Bevel and Emboss] using layer properties
Make the white part look like snow.
Choose green as the color. Use a mask to erase the character's position.
Create another Curves adjustment layer.
Mainly highlight the parts of the character. With the mask selected, use a black brush to erase parts other than the character.
Ctrl+Shift+Alt+E stamp layer
Sharpen the details. It looks clearer.
Use the blur tool to polish the skin a little. The MM is relatively tender. Hehe...
Create a layer below the stamped layer while holding down the Ctrl key. Fill it with white.
Ctrl+T free transformation. Hold down the Alt and Shift keys when transforming. Otherwise, it will be deformed.
First, cut the top and bottom. Make the surrounding borders the same size, then hold down the Ctr key and click on the layer you just transformed. An ant line will appear. Shift+F7 inverts the selection.
Edit.Stroke.
Stroke
final effect
This is basically done.
This step is critical if you want to change the green color of the trees to white in the channel mixer. Be in control.
The picture cannot be too violent or too dark.
