augustya Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 Hi Guys, I wanted to ask you guys, how to achieve this ? If any of you have visited an Apple Store and checked out the devices they keep in demo for users to check out, if you have a look into the demo photos they have inside their devices, They have a cool blueish feel to that, most of them do not have that warm tint to it and are very clean, glossy with 0% noise. I wanted to know how can I add that Glossy or Matt Cool Blue Look to my Photos If you guys know what I mean ? For e.g. some of the Video editing apps give you that option where in you can add a colour filter to the video and they look how the day light is in London (London Light as they call in the Photography world) which means It is Daylight but there is no yellow/bright shining sun. Here are some examples for reference. How to achieve this kind of feel to the photos ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisbon Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 Hi augustya. If any of you have visited an Apple Store and checked out the devices they keep in demo for users to check out, if you have a look into the demo photos they have inside their devices... Is it possible for a non apple costumer like me to upload an image and apply the filter? Do you have Before/After examples? --- are very clean, glossy with 0% noise Try the "Glamour Glow" present in "Color Efex Pro" (Nik collection) --- For e.g. some of the Video editing apps give you that option where in you can add a colour filter to the video and they look how the day light is in London (London Light as they call in the Photography world) which means It is Daylight but there is no yellow/bright shining sun. It is very common in video editing to just apply a LUT. (Affinity Photo allows LUTs) And when you say "they look, how the daylight is in London", LUTs are the first thing that comes to my mind.

I did not understand your first statement. So the "Glamour Glow" present in "Color Efex Pro" (Nik collection) is an add on which I will have to download right ?

Unless you can track down a copy of the old free version of the NIK Collection (which is now quite old) you will need to buy it from DxO. It's good, but probably not worth buying just for one effect.

Reading this feels so unfortunate !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulEC Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 I didn't say that you can't get a similar effect in Affinity. You asked about having to download the NIK collection and I answered that, I didn't say anything about Affinity!. If you want to get a similar affect in AP, there are several tutorials available (just Google), it's quite a simple effect to do.

Lisbon Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 I did not understand your first statement. What i was trying to say is that i need a before and after example to understand what the filter is doing to get that "cool blueish feel". Without that its hard for me to help you. So the "Glamour Glow" present in "Color Efex Pro" (Nik collection) is an add on which I will have to download right? Right. The old google nik collection can be found here: Windows http://dl.google.com/edgedl/photos/nikcollection-full-1.2.11.exe Mac http://dl.google.com/edgedl/photos/nikcollection-full-1.2.11.dmg This glamour glow will just add a soft look, keeping the detail. But it will not add that "cool blueish feel". Thats another effect. augustya 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v_kyr Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 See as an general example macro: Matte Color Macro You can do the same in a macro with just matte blue color tones, or via setting up some custom matte style LUT values. Either should give and result in a cooler blue tones look.

And in fact, if you had both, it is possible to derive a LUT from them to apply that "feel" to another image.

As I said, it would be better to have before and after versions; an original, and what you want. Ideally several. Not just a bunch of images whose "feel" you want to duplicate. As for why: because if we don't see the "before" we don't really know what you've done to get the "after". Also, because given both, you can develop a LUT to produce it, as I mentioned.
