And subscribe before starting the tutorial to stay with my channel. Let’s start today’s tutorial.
Now we are here in the magical world of Photoshop. I have already edited the images
with the same effect. If you see that I have used the same technique to the entire image,
and you can also edit it easily. And I have downloaded these images to show you how the
dark moody effect works. And this tutorial is an easy tip and easy way I will show.
First press control or command + j to make a duplicate layer. Then convert the layer
into a smart object. Then go to filter, and camera raw filter. After opening the image
first see what is your image about, and how many colors it has. Then open the HSL color mixer.
First, we do not need to make any adjustments. We will use saturation to edit first. But we will
not touch the skin or not going to change the skin color of the model. The orange slider is
the slider that controls the skin color of any human. So we will not touch the orange slider.
Now leave a red and orange slider and decrease saturation for all the other sliders.
And then go to hue and make adjustments.
After that go to luminance. Here make some adjustments with the color.
After all the adjustments, go to the basics,
here do some color and lighting corrections to the image, and make the black moody more attractive.
After editing the basics go to the details,
here increase the sharpening a little bit. Then to reduce the noise and make the skin smoother. Now
look at your image and try your best to make the best color and editing with the basics.
Your image might have different, but the main theme of the editing is the same for every image.
Then go to the color grading. Here also do some adjustments with mid-tone, highlight, shadow.
Now you can also add a vignette to your image if you like. But I would like to save the black
moody color effect as a preset. Just go to the 3 icons here, then save settings.
Here you will see all the settings that you apply in-camera raw filter. Now save,
save where you like to save the file. Give a name to the file, and save. After that hit ok.
Now you can see we created a dark moody effect in a very simple way. Now If you like o download,
