I created a Color Balance adjustment layer, as you can see in Midtones I added cyans and in highlights, I added red color there. I want to keep the reds illuminated and want to add cyan toning almost like a teal color to the shadows that we usually see in a night mood. That is adding cyan to shadows and popping out the red colors in lights. Till this step I know I have a picture of coloring that I want in the image. I created a Curves adjustment layer and added a point in the middle to brighten the image. I am neutral here and I am not targeting specific parts of the image. Not only it will prep your image for further editing but help you get some details back. I brighten the image a bit & this is the thing that I usually do I can’t stress that enough. I am still thinking about colors and you can do the same just don’t worry about the final results and enjoy the process. Input the following settings and you can see with these settings we have added a magenta coloring. Go to Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Selective Color & select Neutral. The best way to start coloring your image either using Color Balance or use Selective Color Neutral Settings.
Sometimes I see any image my mind just starts processing the coloring, mood, and lighting in the image in seconds. I couldn’t help myself and started coloring right away. Not much colors in shadows region, I opened it in Photoshop by selecting File > Open. I really like the lights in the image calm, soothing & golden coloring. This scene is basically inspired by milky-way coloring, I know there is no milky-way scene even no starry sky but you might have come across some images of milky-way depicting the same colors such as cyans in shadows & illuminating reds in highlights. No need to mention a night scene is recommended here because most of the magical & dreamy stuff looks dope at night.
