This is the final result of this episode, a forest with sunlight beams transformed into a golden autumn atmosphere with dramatic deep blue shadows. Let's get started. Hello, welcome back to the complete Adobe Photoshop series from Cerdas Inovasi Digital. Today we're using two adjustments to create a mood, gradient map which maps the light and dark tones of the photo to a color gradient, and selective color that changes one color group in a targeted way. Open the forest photo with sunlight.
Add Selective Color.
On the color gray ends, reduce cyan a lot and add yellow, so that green turns into green-yellow.
Go to yellow colors, add a bit of magenta and reduce cyan.
The leaves are now golden, like autumn, while the sunlight remains warm.
Add gradient map.
By default, the gradient is black to white, making the photo turn into a black and white image. Change the gradient to deep purple to light orange, dark tones mapped to purple, light tones to orange.
Change the gradient map blend mode to Soft Light and set the opacity to around 60%.
The gradient colors now blend with the photo as tones, highlights, and warm golden light.
Add a curve and pull the highlight slightly upward to make the beam of sunlight more prominent among the tree branches.
Turn off and turn on the three layers to see the transformation from the green forest into a fall atmosphere.
Save PSD and export JPG.
Done. We've already used selective color to change green to gold, gradient map with soft light for mood, and curve for light. The color grading module is complete. In the next episode, we'll enter the text and graphic design module. Need to edit product photos for marketplace, retouch photos, design posters, or social media content?
