Cinematic teal-and-amber portrait color grade

№ 04

№ The prompt

Grade this portrait toward a warm teal-and-amber social look. Render the skin believably warm so the person glows against cooler teal surroundings, leave a soft halation bloom on the brightest edges, and protect the catchlights in their eyes. This colors the light only — hold the face, expression, and skin texture exactly as shot, since it is a grade rather than a beauty retouch. Pull back if anyone starts looking sunburnt or plastic.

№ How to use it

  • Input

    A portrait of a synthetic or stock-style person, not a real identifiable individual; an evenly-lit shot with some tonal range grades best. Check the warmed skin against your original so it still reads true.

  • Preserve

    The person's face, expression, eye catchlights, and natural skin texture — only the color of the light shifts.

  • Avoid

    Pushing skin into orange or sunburn, smoothing pores into plastic, crushing the blacks, or adding fake film scratches.
