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.

FINAL

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 Moon Effect in Photoshop

Hey Guys, welcome to my another tutorial on creating Instagram Effects in Photoshop. This time, I will be showing you How to Create Instagram Moon Effect in Photoshop. Couple of weeks ago, I wrote a post on Creating Instagram Gingham effect and I must say that I received a big cheer on that post, and that motivated me to write my another on Instagram.

Moon effect is pretty much subtle like almost all other Instagram effects are. But what makes it different is that it is unsaturated which means it is Black and White.

Before we go further, I would like to show you the final image of the effect when applied on an image.

So let’s begin the tutorial.

Step 1: Desaturate the Image

The first thing we need to do is to desaturate the image. Duplicate the layer by pressing Cmd+J/Ctrl+J. Press Cmd+Shift+U/Ctrl+Shift+U.

Step 2: Play with Brightness and Contrast

Moon Effect generally brightens the image and decreases the gap between highlights and shadows. We are going to do the same. Go to Image>Adjustment>Brightness/Contrast.

Increase the brightness to 62% and decrease the contrast to -30%.

Step 3: Add Blue Tint

Time to add a very subtle, even unnoticeable blue tint. Go to Layer>New Adjustment Layer>Photo Filter.

Choose the filter as Cooling Filter (LBB). Keep the density at 6%.

Step 4: Add Vignette

Time to add nice looking black vignette.

Press Cmd+Opt+Shift+E/Ctrl+Alt+Shift+E to stack all the layer into a new layer in Photoshop. Go to Filter>Camera Raw Filter.

Switch to Effects tab. Decrease the amount o -45. It will add a nice looking black vignette.

And we are done.

Create Instagram Gingham Effect on Photoshop

Hey guys, welcome to my another tutorial on Instagram Effects. A few weeks ago I shared a tutorial on Creating Instagram Claredon Effect and today I’ll be sharing How to Create Instagram Gingham Effect on Photoshop. Instagram is getting popular day by day, and it has crossed 400 million users worldwide. Yes, I know that’s huge. Given that the total world’s population is around 7 billion, around 5% of all people in this world uses Instagram. Considering that, it’s quite obvious that enthusiasts like you would search for Creating Instagram effects on Photoshop, and here’s the end of your search.

Before we go any further, I’d like to show you the final image.

FINAL

So let’s begin the tutorial.

Step 1: Reducing Highlights

The key feature of this filter is that it suppresses every single highlight present in an image, and we are going to do the same.

Open your image on Photoshop and go to Image>Adjustments>Shadows/Highlights.

Reduce the highlights as shown below. I’ve reduced it by 48%. Please note that what settings suit your image best, might be different than mine. Make sure that you decrease the tone as reduction of highlight will also affect the face which we don’t want.

Step 2: Reduce Colors

The next thing we need to do is to reduce saturation.

Go to Image>Adjustments>Vibrance. Reduce the Saturation to -31.

Step 3: Apply Vignette

Press Cmd+Opt+Shift+E/Ctrl+Alt+Shift+E to stack all layers onto top of the layer panel.

Go to Filters>Camera Raw Filter.

Head over to the FX section. Increase the Amount and Midpoint in the Post Crop Vignette section.

This will add a nice white vignette to the image.

Create Instagram Clarendon Effect in Photoshop

Hey guys, again I am back with my series on achieving Instagram effects using Photoshop. This time I am going to create Instagram Clarendon Effect in Photoshop. Instagram has become quite popular after Facebook bought it for a massive amount of 1 billion dollars. Turned out that the investment was quite strategic as the present value of Instagram is 30 billion dollars.

The best or worst part of Instagram is its exclusivity to its app. You cannot use its filter if you’re not using its app. The only way left to you is to create it. So let’s create one.

Before we proceed, I’d like to show how our image will look at the end.

FINAL

I hope that you like it. Let’s begin.

Step 1: Find the Accent Color

You might have noticed that Clarendon filter adds a tint of the color that has maximum presence in the image. Our job is to find out that color. The best way to do that is by blurring the image all the way to its extreme.

Open the image. Go to Filter>Blur>Gaussian Blur. Turn the slider all the way right to 1000 pixels.

Now activate Eyedropper tool by pressing I. Sample the color by clicking on the color.

Click on the foreground color.

Copy the HEX color code by pressing Cmd+C/Ctrl+C.

STEP 2: Add Tint of Accent Color

Go to Layer>New Adjustment Layer>Photo Filter.

Turn on the color (highlighted by red box) and then paste the HEX color code you just copied in the area inside Yellow box.

Drag the Photo Filter slider all the way to 100%. Make sure that “Preserve Luminosity” is turned on.

STEP 3: Add Saturation

Go to Layer>New Adjustment Layer>Vibrance.

Increase the saturation by 10-15%.

STEP 4: Create Instagram Clarendon Effect in Photoshop

Press Cmd+Opt+Shift+E/Ctrl+Alt+Shift+E to stack all the layers into a new layer. This will not alter the image. It will just create a new layer at the top of the layer panel.
