Let's discuss the color grading tutorial. The story is that I want to make a photo with the atmosphere of the 1945s, KEE friends... The photo was taken with a Canon 60D camera, f/1.8 aperture with a 50mm lens. Added light behind the subject, and there is a fog effect.

The editing process that you want to do is to add yellow contrast to the highlights and green to the shadows. You can start by correcting the exposure of your photo, you can adjust it to the conditions of each photo...
In the first step, you can duplicate your layer so that if you have edited further, you can go back to the original image.

You can add Dodge and Burn to contrast the light coming from the window and make the background darker. You can also add vignettes to your photos, KEE friends, to enhance the desired effect.
To dodge and burn photos, you can use the curve layer.
