Tips for adding a blue hue to your photos

1. THE ANDRE PIENAAR C5
GUIDE
ADDING A BLUE HUE TO PHOTOS

2. WHAT IS IT?
• SOMETIMES A PHOTO’S COLOURS MAY BE LACKING AND IT NEEDS SOMETHING EXTRA TO HELP
MAKE IT SEEM MORE STRIKING.
• IF THE COLOURS ARE RIGHT, THEN SOMETIMES A BLUE TINT CAN HELP.
• HAVING A TINT EXTENUATES THE COLDER COLOURS AND ALSO HELPS TO ADD A MORE UNIFORM
LOOK TO THE IMAGE.
• HERE IS THE IMAGE WE WILL BE STARTING WITH.

3. STEP 1
• THE FIRST STEP IN THIS ANDRE PIENAAR C5 TUTORIAL IS TO OPEN YOUR FAVOURITE PHOTO
EDITOR, MINE IS PHOTOSHOP BUT SOMETHING LIKE THE ONLINE PIXLR IS JUST FINE, AND IMPORT
YOUR PHOTO.
• THEN YOU’LL WANT TO GO TO THE IMAGE SECTION AND THEN THE ADJUSTMENTS AREA. IN THIS
SECTION YOU WILL FIND A RANGE OF COLOURS AND THEIR RESPECTIVE VALUES. WHAT YOU WANT
TO DO IS TO PUT THE BLUE LEVEL UP.

4. STEP 2
• HERE IS WHAT THE SLIDERS LOOK LIKE, FOR OTHER TINTS YOU CAN
ADJUST THE COLOURS.
• USING A COLOR WHEEL YOU CAN GET MORE CONTROL OVER THIS AS
YOU CAN LOWER THE OPPOSITE COLOURS TO THE ONE YOU’RE
EMPHASISING TO MAKE AN EVEN MORE STRIKING IMAGE.

5. STEP 3
• HERE IS THE FINISHED IMAGE.
• AS YOU CAN SEE THE BLUES IN THE IMAGE STICK OUT A LOT MORE AND THE IMAGE AS A WHOLE
AS A MORE COHESIVE FEEL TO IT.
• THIS IS AN ANDRE PIENAAR C5 FAVOURITE AND SOMETHING THAT I USE WITH BOTH PERSONAL
AND PROFESSIONAL PHOTOS ON A DAILY BASIS.
