Quickly And Easily Change White To Any Color With Photoshop
.
Learn three methods for adding color to white objects. The first two are the most common approaches, which to my eye do not look professional, so I’ll show you how to improve their results. The third approach is the highest quality and least common method and is the only one that involves zero guesswork to produce very professional-looking results.

How To Use RGB and LAB Numbers in Adobe Lightroom Classic
Just below the histogram in Lightroom Classic’s Develop module are a set of three numbers that can be useful when optimizing your images. Let’s explore how I use those numbers when evaluating images before processing, when color correcting images and when I need to match the color between two areas. I’ll also attempt to explain the difference between RGB and LAB settings, how to switch between them, and when one option is more useful than the other.

The Best Ways To Use Multi-Colored Histograms In Adobe Lightroom & Camera Raw
.
The colors that appear in Lightroom, ACR, and Photoshop’s histograms can be useful to detect color casts, determine if detail is being lost, and know more about the colors that make up an image. I start by blindly interpreting a bunch of histograms while I cannot see the image that it represents (but you can). I then explain how basic color works and how that relates to the colors that appear in the histogram.

Bokeh flares added with an image and brushes
The word bokeh (Japanese for blur), the quality of the blur produced in out-of-focus parts of an image, is often used to describe the way a lens renders out-of-focus points of light. You don’t have to have a lens with a very wide aperture to create images with bokeh flares.You can apply bokeh flares to shots with or without analog flares after exposure, using Photoshop.
Blend A Second Image With Flares
There are at least three ways to find bokeh flare images.
3 Color Tweaks To Improve Image Blur’s Depth Of Field

background color adjusted plus detail blurred
The principles of atmospheric perspective can be used to enhance the illusion depth in two-dimensional images. The three elements of color each encode space. Some colors rise forward – light, warm, saturated. Some colors recede – dark, cool, desaturated. When applied strategically and selectively, they can produce powerful visual effects, making your images appear even more realistic.
You can combine these tendencies (They’re not absolute rules and can all be reversed in the right contexts.) with selective blur to make the illusion of space in your images even more powerfully felt.
Photoshop’s Depth Blur neural filter offers sliders to make it quick and easy to make these kinds of color adjustments and make blurring effects more powerfully felt.
