How to put a red filter on the photo

/ PHOTOSHOP / By

Adding a red filter to a photo can be done using various photo editing software or apps. I’ll provide a general step-by-step guide using Adobe Photoshop as an example. If you’re using a different software, the basic principles should still apply.

Using Adobe Photoshop:

  1. Open the Photo:
  • Launch Adobe Photoshop and open the photo you want to edit.
  1. Create a New Adjustment Layer:
  • Click on the “Create new fill or adjustment layer” icon at the bottom of the Layers panel (it looks like a half-black, half-white circle).
  • Select “Solid Color” from the dropdown menu.
  1. Choose Red as the Color:
  • In the “Color Picker” window, choose a shade of red that you want for your filter. You can adjust the hue, saturation, and brightness until you’re satisfied.
  • Click “OK” when you’re done.
  1. Blend Mode (Optional):
  • Change the blend mode of the red solid color layer to “Overlay” or “Soft Light” to blend it with the original photo.
  1. Adjust Opacity (Optional):
  • If the red filter is too intense, you can lower the opacity of the adjustment layer to reduce its effect.
  1. Fine-tune with Layer Masks (Optional):
  • If you want to apply the red filter selectively (e.g., to specific areas of the photo), you can use a layer mask. Paint with black on the mask to reveal the original image in those areas.
  1. Save Your Edited Photo:
  • Once you’re satisfied with the result, go to “File” > “Save As” to save your edited photo.

Remember, this process can vary slightly depending on the software you’re using, but the general concept remains the same. If you’re using a mobile app or a different desktop photo editing program, they will have similar features to apply a color filter.
