Even if you don't have the opportunity to take photos in a professional studio, where you can preset the light and choose photo filters, using Adobe Photoshop you can achieve the effect of a stylish, professionally processed photo.
Instructions
Step 1
Choose a high-quality photo as a source, in which there are almost no dark areas. The future result depends on the quality of the photo, so photos taken with a mobile phone will not work. Open the selected photo in Adobe Photoshop.
Step 2
Open Image - Adjustments - Levels. Try moving the sliders or changing the values in the windows. You can set the values as in the picture, or you can choose your own.
Step 3
Create a new layer (Layer - New layer). Fill it with some bright color (for example, blue, like in the image). Set the Blend mode to Exclusion and Opacity to 10-20% in the layer settings.
Step 4
Merge the layers with the keyboard shortcut ctrl + e. Insert a texture (any with colored streaks will do). If you could not find a suitable texture, then you can skip this step. Set the blending mode of the layers to Screen and adjust the transparency. If the texture has sharp lines, then blur it with Filters - Blur - Gaussian Blur.
Step 5
Choose Image - Adjustments - Color balance. Move the sliders. Set the value as in the picture, or choose your own.
Step 6
Repeat the third step, choosing some other color, for example, red. It is better not to choose yellow - the result will be too faded and dark.
Step 7
Choose Image - Adjustments - Variations. Make the photo lighter or darker according to your taste, add yellow color. Connect all layers using the command ctrl + e or Layers - Flatten image.
Step 8
Improve the clarity of the image. To do this, apply the Filters - Sharpen - Sharpen filter. You can apply it two or three times.
