Hacking Color Transfer, powerful new Neural Filter in Photoshop 2022<\/h2>\n

There are a number of ways to create color grades on photoshop in Photoshop and this way is very unique and really powerful.<\/p>\n

Here is a great trick I discovered in Color Transfer in Photoshop. I love to experiment and try things that are a little off the beaten path. Ive discovered some really interesting ways of using Photoshop over the years with a little lateral thinking.<\/p>\n

Install your Photographic Toning Gradients<\/h3>\n

This is a preliminary step if you don’t have Photographic toning gradients set up. It’s in Photoshop, but not installed by default.<\/p>\n

Window>Gradients<\/p>\n

Choose the menu on the top-right and choose Legacy Gradients.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Scroll down to Legacy>Photographic Toning.<\/p>\n

Take a screen capture of the gradients. Cmd+Shift+4 on Mac (windows button + shift + s)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Just in case you had trouble making a screen capture, or you want to skip that step, here is one for you, just download to your desktop.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Hack Adobe AI to make pro looking color grades<\/h2>\n

Ok, let’s do the thing.<\/p>\n

Duplicate your layer (Cmd\/Ctrl+J)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Right-click on the top layer and choose Convert to Smart Object<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Choose Filter>Neural Filters<\/p>\n

Color Transfer<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Click on Custom and click the folder to load in your own image<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Choose the screen capture of the gradients. These aren’t gradients, but an image of them.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In the thumbnail, drag your mouse around one of the gradients to make a selection<\/p>\n

It will be applied to your image It will probably be too strong at the moment, but don’t worry.<\/p>\n

Click ok<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Change to Color Blend Mode and lower the opacity to around 50%<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Double Click the words Neural Filters to open the dialog box back up<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Make a selection around a different gradient, or drag the existing selection to change the color grade. You should really watch the short video above to see this in action.<\/p>\n
