Hi,

I am quite new to PS and learning lots. I have a technique that I am trying to acheive, but failing.

I need to get an image to look mutted. In other words desaturate the image and create and moody image.

Have a look at this link http://www.juliancalverley.com/folio/personal.htm#

This guy has the style i am looking to replicate.

Any advice would be great.

In PS CS2, there is a "Shadow/Highlight" filter under the Adjustment menu. Mess around with the parameters and you can really get that dreamlike feel to your photos.
In addition, it looks like that artist does a lot of color adjustment. I would say try PS's Hue/Saturation feature - it enables you to bring down saturation on selective colors while leaving others as they are.

I agree with the previous poster but would add you should fully explore everything under the image 'adjustments' area. There's a ton of great things you can do to your image in there.


My 2 cents
