Let’s begin
Step 1: Increase the Temp and reduce the Tint
The first basic rule before giving a yellow tone to a photo in Lightroom is to increase the temperature and decrease the tint. Tint should slightly shift towards the green side.
Make the below adjustments in the Basic panel
- Temp: +10
- Tint: -10
Step 2: Adjust the whites and blacks
Now we’re going to adjust the whites and blacks in the Basic panel.
Hold down Opt/Alt key and drag the Whites slider towards the right till you see white hgihlights. Check the below GIF. Here I am ignoring the white because of the window because that area is already super-duper overexposed.
Here’s my value.
- Whites: +32
Time to do it for the Black. This time move the Black slider towards the left.
Hold down Opt/Alt key and drag the Blacks slider towards the left till you see black shadows. Check the below GIF.
Here’s my value.
- Blacks: -42
Here’s the photo.
Step 3: Increase the saturation
This is the last step. Time to increase the saturation.
Go the the HSL/Color panel.
Increase the below sliders
- Orange: +35
- Yellow: +35
That’s all, guys.
Here’s the final photo.
