THE ANDRE PIENAAR C5 GUIDE

ADDING A BLUE HUE TO PHOTOS

WHAT IS IT?• SOMETIMES A PHOTO’S COLOURS MAY BE LACKING AND IT NEEDS

SOMETHING EXTRA TO HELP MAKE IT SEEM MORE STRIKING.• IF THE COLOURS ARE RIGHT, THEN SOMETIMES A BLUE TINT CAN HELP. • HAVING A TINT EXTENUATES THE COLDER COLOURS AND ALSO HELPS TO

ADD A MORE UNIFORM LOOK TO THE IMAGE. • HERE IS THE IMAGE WE WILL BE STARTING WITH.

STEP 1

• THE FIRST STEP IN THIS ANDRE PIENAAR C5 TUTORIAL IS TO OPEN YOUR FAVOURITE PHOTO EDITOR, MINE IS PHOTOSHOP BUT SOMETHING LIKE THE ONLINE PIXLR IS JUST FINE, AND IMPORT YOUR PHOTO.

• THEN YOU’LL WANT TO GO TO THE IMAGE SECTION AND THEN THE ADJUSTMENTS AREA. IN THIS SECTION YOU WILL FIND A RANGE OF COLOURS AND THEIR RESPECTIVE VALUES. WHAT YOU WANT TO DO IS TO PUT THE BLUE LEVEL UP.

STEP 2

• HERE IS WHAT THE SLIDERS LOOK LIKE, FOR OTHER TINTS YOU CAN ADJUST THE COLOURS.

• USING A COLOR WHEEL YOU CAN GET MORE CONTROL OVER THIS AS YOU CAN LOWER THE OPPOSITE COLOURS TO THE ONE YOU’RE EMPHASISING TO MAKE AN EVEN MORE STRIKING IMAGE.

STEP 3

• HERE IS THE FINISHED IMAGE.• AS YOU CAN SEE THE BLUES IN THE IMAGE STICK OUT A LOT MORE AND

THE IMAGE AS A WHOLE AS A MORE COHESIVE FEEL TO IT.• THIS IS AN ANDRE PIENAAR C5 FAVOURITE AND SOMETHING THAT I USE

WITH BOTH PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL PHOTOS ON A DAILY BASIS.
