Bright and Colorful Effect Tutorial - The Steps
- Start off by going into the toolbar at the top in Photoshop and select LAYER, then select NEW ADJUSTMENT LAYER, then select BRIGHTNESS/CONTRAST… a little box should come up asking you to name the layer (note this box might not come up & it might take you straight to the brightness/contrast settings), just click OK. Then set the brightness to +24, leave the contrast set to +23. Click OK.You should notice that your images brightness has now changed slightly.
- Download this file and save it to your desktop. Go back into Photoshop and go upto the toolbar again and select LAYER, then select NEW ADJUSTMENT LAYER, then select SELECTIVE COLOR… Like on the last step, a little box might pop up asking you to name the layer, just click OK (note that the box might not pop up for everyone - if it doesn’t, just carry on with the steps). Click LOAD…. and find the file you just downloaded, which will probably be called RoadSC.asv, if you haven’t renamed it. Once you’ve found it, select it and click LOAD. Once that’s done, click OK. Once you’ve clicked OK, you should now notice a huge difference in the colouring of your photograph.
- Now you need to repeat the step above, only you’ll be downloading a different file, so download this file. Then go into photoshop, select LAYER, then select NEW ADJUSTMENT LAYER, then select SELECTIVE COLOR… load the file you just downloaded, and click OK. You should notice a difference in your image once again.
- Now fine the toolbar and select LAYER then select NEW ADJUSTMENT LAYER then select COLOR BALANCE, then make sure your settings look exactly like mine, here. And you’re done. Don’t forget you can always alter these effects, add your own and even get rid of some of the steps, to change the effect to your liking, or just to adjust it for different images.
- Aaandddd you’re done. I hope this Bright and Colorful Effect Tutorial was helpful - however if you have any questions regarding this tutorial then please leave a comment below and I’ll happily reply.
