How to Create A Cinematic Film Effect in Adobe Photoshop

In this Photoshop video tutorial, you’ll learn the process needed to create a cinematic film effect in Adobe Photoshop. You’ll use Camera RAW and its powerful HSL options, Curves and break it down by color channel. You’ll then add a mid tone punchiness with High Pass adjustments. Next you’ll add an 8-bit style contrast and blur effect and some lesser-known Blend and Layer Shaping options in the Layer Style dialog box. If you’re into photography and you want to add an element of cinema to your imagery, this is the tutorial for you. Of course, the beauty of this effect is that you’re more than welcome to stop at any point throughout the process and have a great image that you love at that point.
