And finally, I added some grain, which might not be visible in the small image below, but it gives it a film-like appearance.Make your photos stand out with this preset pack which includes 10 unique presets for Lightroom. The corners are darkened by setting the vignette to -25. For my image, I decided to increase the texture and clarity settings to give it a sharper look. Step 8Ĭomplete the image by going to the Effects tab and applying your desired combination of effects. Add another point between the first two and drag it down to create an s-curve. Next, click on the middle of the line to add a point (keep this point in the middle). Now crush the blacks by moving it towards the right. Lift the blacks by dragging the bottom-left point upwards.

We're editing the colors in this order because the saturation is the easiest to adjust. You'll noticed that we edited the hue, luminance, and now finally the saturation.

You should adjust them to fit your image. Again, these are approximate values that we're using as a starting point. Step 4Īnd now we'll adjust the saturation. So by lowering the luminance, the greens will appear less vibrant. In case you're wondering why we're adjusting the luminance instead of saturation, it's because our brains perceive dark green as less saturated than medium green. These are approximate values that you can use as a starting point - adjust them to fit your image. To fix this, click on the Adjust dropdown menu and select Luminance. Looking at our photo, you can see that some of the greens and yellows in the background are oversaturated making it stand out. Next, we're going to tone down some of the oversaturated areas. This will give foliage more blues for a filmic look. In the Color Mixer settings, set the Green to +100. For this tutorial, you should use a photo with a leafy green background. We'll start first by adjusting the color. Here's the image that we'll be using for this tutorial.
