How to achieve this warmth tone.
Does anyone know how to achieve this kind of warm tone? You can comment here as many techniques as you can. Thank you in advance.       May 29 16 08:29 am Link Do you have an image that you would like to match this warmth? It will also be contingent on your specific image, as the values may be different. If different, you will have to match the values as you color grade to get close. One method you can try is: > Create an solid fill adjustment layer and put it on "Vivid Light" > Lower the opacity to around 30% or less (adjust accordingly to your image) > Choose a warm hue, yellow-orange (as you move more left on the color dialog, the less intensity of the color (desaturated), as you move up higher, the more it will affect the whole image, and the move you go closer to the darks, it'll affect mostly midtones or just the highlights. > If you want the white highlights to be more white, just don't go all the way to the right (100% full saturation), as it can make the white yellow. **you can bring it back to white with a luminosity mask technique though** This will allow you to target the warmth you want. Burning in that warmth, since it does affect the values as well. If you are still confused, let me know. May 29 16 09:02 am Link Interesting idea by Thach of FotoHouse. I had to try it out with one of the fairest skin models I've shot with to test it on.  However, instead of Vivid, I used Linear Burn in PS. I set the Layer > New Fill Layer > Solid Color to RGB values of 228, 162, 124 respectively (Sampled RGB off your images arm in one photo.), set that layer to Opacity = 30%, and then washed the layer of the excess color that was not skin to do the above image. There is also the Sun Tan brush tool in PaintShop Pro, and you can also use Portraiture and its Warmth slider to add more skin color saturation as it targets just that. Topaz Restyle has some Portrait setting where you can come up with some very dark or odd skin colors, and dial them back in Luminosity, Saturation, or Hue also. Many ways of getting there. May 29 16 11:03 am Link Actually yellow tones are cold, not warm (2000K is more yellow than 10000K). Also these images don't use identical look. If you want to increase the yellow in your photos there are many ways to do it - curves, selective color etc. All you need is to identify what needs to be changed, e.g. the green of the cactus obviously contains more yellow and less blue than natural color. And looking at different other colors you can proceed accordingly. Don't look for "howto" recipes but learn to understand what you see. Looking at the basics of color theory is a good start.

May 29 16 04:00 pm Link first, those are all full sunlight shots. not shade, not skylight.... i just increase the wb color temperature by 200-400 kelvin setting and call it good. or may use the gold colored reflector fabric. (that's for the first cover image and the last two images), you can see it in the "whites". you can also do the same thing by using "skylight" (cloud) setting while working in daylight (sun). the others are actually more slightly desaturated redish skin, that mostly come in post. this is vanessa shot at cloudy setting  May 29 16 08:42 pm Link NothingIsRealButTheGirl wrote: Of course. But when discussing photographic looks it clarifies that one can shift the white balance to lower kelvins. May 29 16 11:20 pm Link NothingIsRealButTheGirl wrote: anchev wrote: this is only confusing the issue for a newbie who may not understand the kelvin scale and the implications. everything has to be used in context. just as "larger aperture" can mean a wider opening (lower f-stops) or higher f-number (smaller opening). you shift the white balance to higher K (+) so the camera compensates and makes the image warmer. you shift the wb to lower K (-) so the camera compensates to make the image look colder. the discussion is about the final results and a warmer look. May 29 16 11:39 pm Link anchev wrote: Actually no - you have things upside down. Lower color temperature numbers are warmer, higher numbers are cooler.

Ever since then lots of people seem to be focused on dissecting my words rather than helping with the actual question. I agree - it is pointless. If you think zero kelvin is the hottest thing in the universe just because you are in visual arts - I really don't mind. May 30 16 03:29 pm Link anchev wrote: It's not about thinking lower kelvin is hotter than higher kelvin. Nobody thinks that. May 30 16 03:37 pm Link anchev wrote: yes it is. the light from back yard fire is more toward the infrared, with longer wavelength - and thus produces warmer light than the blue giant start - which produces light more toward the ultraviolet, which is a colder light.

May 31 16 08:07 am Link GRMACK wrote: I can be done inside a gradient map adjustment layer as well if you want more control of your color ramp such as orange transitioning to yellow or any colors you want and use 50% gray if you want to omit a color somewhere on the ramp such as midtones, highlights, etc. Yes, there's many many ways. It's all about knowing what you want to target and using the tools you have to get you there. Every image is different and you have to get the values you need before you can get the exact color you want. If you're images are more washed out and light, you're going to have more tinted/pastel colors vs a darker image with rich opulent colors. This is just general info for the OP. May 31 16 08:16 am Link anchev wrote: Talking non sense again?? May 31 16 01:37 pm Link First, the images appear to be shot with fairly "contrasty" natural lighting... look at the shadows on the walls. But honestly, images 1, 3, 4, and 6 look like a fairly straightforward photo filter could have been applied to a layer (or a few), then perhaps playing with contrast, layer options (Luminosity, or Lighter, or... ???), and opacity. Maybe a specific color picker, something more selective than just "Warming Filter 81" or "Sepia", but still I am not seeing a lot of complexity to the warm goldish/yellow tones that permeate the entire image...including the otherwise white background. May 31 16 10:10 pm Link anchev wrote: Your confusing the color temperature being warmer at lower values and cooler at higher values, with how you move the adobe slider to adjust it. The slider is reversed. you're not changing the color temperature directly with the slider, you're telling the software that it was shot at the new value. So, it's the reverse.

Read carefully my first post: anchev wrote: Does it mention white balance? - No. Jun 01 16 02:46 am Link anchev wrote: No. The only confusion comes from "talking from the pov of physics" to say which color is warm and which color is cool. Jun 01 16 10:04 am Link  "Red hot" is the last color of a glowing thing just before it dies. It is the first color of something just becoming hot enough to glow. Red hot is much cooler than blue-white hot. Nevertheless, pretty much no one in creative circles is going to call red a "cool" color. Jun 01 16 10:07 am Link OP I would probably try to introduce reds into the mid tones. Jun 01 16 10:14 am Link NothingIsRealButTheGirl wrote: It's called freedom of speech.

no need to get technical.
