How to Create Instagram Juno Effect in Photoshop

Hey guys, welcome to my another tutorial on creating Instagram Effects in Photoshop. Last time I discussed creating Instagram Reyes Effect in Photoshop, and this time I am going to show you How to Create Instagram Juno Effect in Photoshop.

Instagram Juno effect is pretty much a subtle one. It doesn’t do much more than manipulating contrast and vividness of the photo, which makes it perfect for a selfie that is taken on a properly illuminated place.

To do so, we also are not going to do much apart from using a few adjustment layers. The adjustment layers we are going to use are Curves, Brightness, Vibrance, and Photo Filter.

Without further ado, let’s begin the tutorial.

If you like watching videos, here’s the video for you.

Step 1: Use the Power of Curves

Juno effect increases the contrast of the image. We are also doing the same but rather than using traditional Brightness/Contrast Adjustment Layer to manipulate the contrast, we are going to use Curves Adjustment Layer. The reason behind this is that Curves performs slightly better and gives us more control over the contrast.

Go to Layer>New Adjustment Layer>Curves.

In the preset dropdown menu in Curves, choose Medium Contrast. It’ll very beautifully increase the contrast of the image.

Step 2: Brighten the Image

Let’s increase the brightness of the photo. We are not going to overexpose the photo but slightly more exposed than a perfectly lit photo. So if there are three regions i.e. underexposed, perfectly exposed, and overexposed, the image will lie between perfectly exposed and overexposed.

Go to Layer>New Adjustment Layer>Brightness/Contrast. Increase the brightness to 14.

Step 3: Increase the Saturation

Time to saturate the image. In other words, let’s increase the vibrancy.

Saturating an image dramatically increases the look and feel of an image. Almost every filter of Instagram either increases or decreases the saturation of an image.

Go to Layer>New Adjustment Layer>Vibrance. Increase the saturation to 34.

Step 4: Finally Achieve Instagram Juno Effect in Photoshop

Time to add a nice warm looking effect to the image.

Go to Layer>New Adjustment Layer>Photo Filter.

Choose the preset as Warming Filter (85), and increase the density to 25%.

And we are done here. We have successfully created Instagram Juno Effect in Photoshop. Let me show you the final picture again.

Create Instagram Reyes Effect in Photoshop

Hey there, welcome to my another tutorial on Instagram Effects. Last time I showed you how to Create Instagram Lark Effect in Photoshop. Today I’ll be showing you How to Create Instagram Reyes Effect in Photoshop. To be very frank, I am not a fan of Reyes Effect but some of my readers are asking me to upload a tutorial on Reyes Effect. As I love my readers a lot, of course I cannot deny their request.

Instagram Reyes effect is much like washing out color and reducing the contrast. It works great with photos that are taken on harsh sunlight.

Let’s go straight to the tutorial. But before I go any further, I would like to show you the final image.

Step 1: Decrease the Contrast

The first thing that you need to do is to decrease the contrast of the image.

Go to Layer>New Adjustment Layers>Brightness/Contrast.

Decrease the contrast to -45.

Step 2: Repeat it One More Time

We even need to decrease the contrast more time. The best way is to duplicate the adjustment layer that we created in last step.

To duplicate a layer, press Ctrl+J/Cmd+J.

Step 3: Reduce the Color

Now we are going to reduce the color so that it appears washed out.

To do so, go to Layer>New Adjustment Layer>Vibrance

Decrease the vibrance all the way down to -100. This will give a washed out effect to the photo.

Step 4: Add Warm Look

Time to give a warm look to the image.

Go to Layer>New Adjustment Layer>Photo Filter.

Rather than going with a preset, we are going to choose a color by ourselves. Select color and then click on the color thumbnail.

Put the HEX color code as #f8b558. Click OK.

Now increase the density to 44%.

Step 5: Increase the Brightness

The image is pretty much dark. Don’t you think so?

We are going to increase the brightness to make it more attractive. But the thing here is that we are going to over-brighten it.

Go to Layer>New Adjustment Layer>Brightness/Contrast.

Increase the brightness to 108.

And now we are good.

I hope that you have enjoyed the tutorial.

Here’s the final image again.

Create Instagram Lark Effect in Photoshop

Hey guys, welcome to my another tutorial on Instagram Effects. Last time I wrote on Instagram Moon Effect that became quite a popular on Instagram. This time I am writing on how to Create Instagram Lark Effect in Photoshop. Lark Effect is somewhat same as other Instagram’s effect. The only thing that separate Instagram’s Lark effect is that it makes the image a little bit saturated.

So without discussing anything more, let’s dive straight to the tutorial. But before we go any further, I’d like to show you the final image.

Step 1: Increase Exposure

Here’s the initial image.

To increase exposure, go to Layer>New Adjustment Layer>Exposure. Increase the exposure so that it looks well-lit or a bit over-lit.

Step 2: Decrease Vibrance but Increase Saturation

Now we are going to decrease vibrance but increase saturation. You might not know the difference between vibrance and Saturation.

Vibrance: Deals only with the colors in an image that are over saturated. It doesn’t deal with every color in a image. For example, in above image, her skin looks a bit oversaturated. So if I decrease the vibrance, her skin color gets unsaturated rather than the whole image.

Saturation: Doesn’t bother with the colors that are over or under saturated. Simply considers that whole image and increase of decrease its saturation.

Step 3: Increase the Highlight

Time to increase out highlights of the image. Yes, you read it correctly. Rather than decreasing the highlight, we are going to increase it. For that, we are going to use Curves.

Go to Layer>New Adjustment Layer>Curves.

Step 4: Create Instagram Lark Effect in Photoshop
