Optional: select another effect from your Snapshots folder, or go back into grid-view mode to select another effect.ġ5. Here is what this image looks like with a reduced opacity:ġ4.

How to Add a Moody Atmosphere to Your Image:ġ. Here are some different moody atmospheres I was able to come up with: The tone enriched fog is susceptible to color staining and while the scene is already mysterious, a dose of ReStyle will help to give it more character. This image is perfect for an injection of moody atmosphere. (via ) Creating a Moody Atmosphereįor this demo I’ll be working with this image by Adam Jones Photography that was captured at Redwood National Park in California. It takes practice to know how to match images with certain effects, but the more you use ReStyle, the more developed your eye will become. To find a harmonious pairing between your image and an effect, pay attention to each preset and the colors it contains. At that point it becomes an issue of, “does this look fake?” or, “does this even look good?”. Although, just like a white wall can be painted darker, lighter tones in an image can be altered to a darker color if deemed necessary. Images with lighter colors are more suited towards lighter effects. For instance, you could change the shadows in a night scene to dark blue or dark purple using ReStyle’s Night Collection. Darker images work better with darker based effects.
