rightmovephotography Posted November 13 Share Posted November 13 I had a family send me a pinterest selection and nearly all of them had a brown tone similar to this: Not really my editing style so I came to master for help. Here is my family. Can you assist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Provide the link to an image with the desired effect, so that we can visit it. Don't link the file itself; link the page on which you found the photo, so that the photographer gets the credit and the traffic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rightmovephotography Posted November 13 Author Share Posted November 13 I am not smart enough to figure out how to edit the post, nor delete and start over. Suggestions?

Damien Symonds Posted November 13 Share Posted November 13 Do you have links to example images where the people are wearing red and green like yours? I need to see how those colours are dealt with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rightmovephotography Posted November 14 Author Share Posted November 14 Thats a really good point. She sent me 6 and they are all earth tones, grays, whites and tans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rightmovephotography Posted November 14 Author Share Posted November 14 The muted colors thing is not my style at all. I gave it a shot but not happy with the result. This is my normal edit, then desaturate the reds and greens, gradient map Brown (8c6510) to white normal 5%, and a black and white gradient map soft light 68% and finally a subject only levels midtone boost 1.08. Clearly, that style is just not my thing, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rightmovephotography Posted November 14 Author Share Posted November 14 She gave the usual woman answer, "either is fine". I pressed her and she prefers the muted edit, husband the color pop. So I am going to do a mix in the gallery. Is there a simple way to add more of a brown hue or tone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted November 15 Share Posted November 15 How do you feel about this? https://max.mailbigfile.com/b5526120fef6abe0ac15f783a7bdaa4a/listFiles.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rightmovephotography Posted November 15 Author Share Posted November 15 This style is just not my thing but it would give me a very different look in a gallery. I sent it over to the mom and she liked it much better than mine but I did up the lightness to zero. I just felt it was a bit dark. For future people looking at the post, (when the big file link expires) Damien added a hue/saturation layer 0% saturation -40 lightness with soft light and a solid fill color#99664d set to hue at 60%. I never would have considered the hue/saturation at 0% in soft light. I have to get the gallery out so I will take your edit and mix them in so there is some variety.
