As I already mentioned, the Control Point looks at the tones, texture, and color of the exact spot you clicked at (the center of the Control Point) when making the selection. By turning on the selection preview, you can see how not all parts within the circle are affected equally.

Luminance determines the range of brightness of the color. Increasing the amount refines the selection to target only areas of similar luminance to the selected color while lowering it broadens the range to include a wider range of brightness.

Chrominance determines the range of hues for a color. Increasing the amount refines the selection to target only areas with the exact same hue of the selected color while lowering it broadens the range to include a wider range of hues.

I love flower photography and this morning glory vine gave me a lot to work with in Nik Color Efex Pro. Solarization, color enhancement, and glow applied in various ways in the set, created two vastly different flower photos. Each tells a different story and each speaks to me differently and can be used as part of the Fine Art Nature Photography collection.

The Desaturate command converts a color image to grayscale values, but leaves the image in the same color mode. For example, it assigns equal red, green, and blue values to each pixel in an RGB image. The lightness value of each pixel does not change.

Because color print filmcontains an orange mask in its base, the Invert adjustment cannotmake accurate positive images from scanned color negatives. Be sureto use the proper settings for color negatives when scanning film.

TheThreshold adjustment converts grayscale or color images to high-contrast, black-and-whiteimages. You can specify a certain level as a threshold. All pixels lighterthan the threshold are converted to white; all pixels darker areconverted to black.

ThePosterize adjustment lets you specify the number of tonal levels(or brightness values) for each channel in an image and then mapspixels to the closest matching level. For example, choosing twotonal levels in an RGB image gives six colors: two for red, twofor green, and two for blue.

This adjustment is useful forcreating special effects, such as large, flat areas in a photograph.Its effects are most evident when you reduce the number of gray levelsin a grayscale image, but it also produces interesting effects incolor images.

If you want a specific numberof colors in your image, convert the image to grayscale and specifythe number of levels you want. Then convert the image back to theprevious color mode, and replace the various gray tones with thecolors you want.

I got a quicker way that get a similar effect, I have had it saved in my personal actions but it is so much simpler, I call it a semi sepia since it is like half way between black and white and color.


1) Make a new Gradient Map Adjustment Layer of black to white(do not have reverse set).


2) Duplicate the Background layer (one with your photo on it) and drag it above the adjustment layer and set its layer blending mode to color and its opacity to 40%.

This is the results of the muted color effect. I belong to a group on PBase called Digital Nuts and we get several photos each week to work some magic on. I used the muted color effect on one of this weeks photos. It looks great on this photo of the old Buick. Thanks for sharing the technique with us.

Hey, Tennessee_Gator

Ā I'm not meaning to sound like a smart-ass but there is a MUCH quicker and easier way to do this and get pretty much the same effect.

Ā If you use Photoshop then select your brush tool and set the color to white. Paint over your entire image. After completing that go to the 'Edit' drop down menu. Select 'Fade Brush Tool'. In the 'Fade Brush Tool' window set it to color and bring the opacity down to around 40% give or take a few digits. The higher the opacity the more it mutes the color.


Here's an example:

so here's mine. but for those people who's not creative enough or doesn't have a photography skills or a point & shoot minded clients who doesn't love post processing, a noob clients will say it's too dull, no colors at all, why is it like that? you dont know how to shoot? it's too ugly.

Ok i thought i would resurrect this one again as i have a new technique for you to try that is quite simple but effective. sort of a "mish mosh" of previous techniques with a few different ones ...does that make sense ? anyhow it will in a minute so....


1.Hit D to load default swatches


2.Load a luminosity mask of the background layer, windows version is ctrl + alt + ~ mac version you will have to command click on the RGB channel


3.With the selection active, while holding down the Alt / Option key make a new gradient map adjustment layer, check use previous layer as a clipping mask and set the blend mode to color while you are there, you could even drop the opacity to maybe 70% also while in that dialog box.


Thats it .. a nice even color mute !

eeps, I suck at photoshop when it comes to channels and shortcuts. Having trouble with the initial tutorial.


when making my first layer, am I supposed to copy my selection to the layer? I get a message when I proceed that my layer is blank....

I tried tennessee gator's tut and it worked great on my pics. i just had to adjust the curves separately on RGB to give a hint of every color. but it worked great coz the colors are still mute. i love it. thanks for the post gator. i'll be using this effect more.

I did this using a tutorial that was in another group called It's an Addiction (Learning & Sharing) that was posted by photoshopman27 who posted the tutorial in a blog.

Lomography's LomoChrome '92 is designed to mimic the look of classic drugstore film that used to fill family photo albums. As we discovered, to shoot with it is to embrace the unexpected, from strange color shifts to odd textures and oversized grain.

Use this filter to convert a color image into a black and white version, and control shadows, highlights, and relationships between the original colors. Three black and white conversion modes are available in the filter displayed in the right panel:

Simulates the technique used on color films where the bleaching process has been skipped. The result is high contrast and low saturation. Both set photographers and animated filmmakers use this effect to create striking, stylized images.

Simulates the use of a daylight film under artificial tungsten-type light, or a tungsten color film in daylight. Use this filter to warm up your photos with an orange color or cool them down with a bluish effect.

Provides a variety of different options for C41 to E6 processing (color negative film processing in slide film chemicals) and E6 to C41 processing (slide film processing in color negative film chemicals).

Simulates color and black & white infrared films. This filter simulates different methods of capturing the infrared portion of the electromagnetic radiation spectrum, as well as the effects produced by films capable of capturing these wavelengths.

Simulates the effect of Polaroid Instant Processing color film and the transfer of the rough image to paper before it is fully developed. The result is a version of the image with low saturation and contrast, with subtle shades of color throughout the image.

Provides advanced options that change the color and contrast of images by analyzing each one and making improvements based on their specifics. Use this filter if you want to increase contrast levels while maintaining detail throughout the image.

Removes color dominants from light-colored objects, such as a white wall or a wedding dress. Use this filter to clean up images and create bright, vivid whites without changing other colors in the photo.

The Hue/Saturation/Luminance (HSL) palette lets you selectively correct colors using 8 color channels, a global channel, and 4 sliders that alter hue, saturation, luminance and uniformity. This tool also allows you to:

When a channel is selected, the Saturation and Luminance slider bars turn that color (e.g. if the green channel is active, the bars are green). This does not apply if the global channel (white tile) is active.

Part of a large photo effects suite from Google (now DXO), Color Efex Pro is both a standalone application and a plugin for Lightroom/Photoshop offering a range of 55 filters for color correction, retouching, and creative photo effects.

I find this filter useful for enhancing landscape and seascape type images, especially when there is a clear horizon line which breaks the picture into two. This simulates a traditional two-color filter by blending two complementary tones together. There are numerous color options to choose from, even the Hollywood "Teal & Orange" look!

This filter can produce some radical changes in the color tonality of an image. It can be used to shift the hues of green to blue (or vice-versa), switch yellows to orange (useful for night images), or swap from a cool to warm tone.

Again, another filter designed to mimic the real thing. Grad filter plugins in Color Efex Pro are available in a variety of colors and when applied at a low opacity can help enhance an otherwise dull sky.

A major stylistic effect when applied correctly, is the bleach bypass filter. This reduces color saturation whilst increasing contrast for that super gritty feel. It works great with accentuating textures like rocks, gravel, stone and even snow. be457b7860
