Welcome To NewFreeTemplates.com Photoshop Tutorials Area - Variations
Toning an image using Variations
|
|
| It's amazing just how much we can change the look and
feel of an image purely by adjusting its colouring. The image above was
taken with the Olympus E10 on a windswept beach but with the colour of the
sand the image still looks rather 'warm'. Using Photoshop's Variations we
can change the mood of the image and even make it into an Arctic
scene |
|
|
| The first job is to duplicate the background by
dragging over the 'Create new layer' icon. We can now make any necessary
adjustments to the image such as Levels. |
|
|
|
The Variations is found under the Image>Adjust>Variations
menu which opens the palette shown above. In the top left is our
original image, we can change the tone of the image by clicking on
the thumbnails in the larger frame. In the centre of the frame is the
Current Pick (also shown next to the Original thumbnail) clicking
on 'More Cyan' or More Blue' etc. will add these tones to the image and
will be shown in the Current Pick thumbnail. The image can also be
made Lighter or Darker by clicking on the thumbnails on the right hand
side of the palette. Once happy with your choice click
OK. |

The finished image using ' More Cyan and Blue'.
This technique can also be used to add more impact to the image so try
experimenting. |
