1. Yellow brown tone:
- After opening your pic,create a new curves layer. Its to increase green tone so adjust to fit your pic:
- Create a new color balance layer to gain the yellow tone . Set this layer to Color 100%

2. Neutral effect:
I did another method before but it did not work well for some another photos so i remake it in other way :D
Stock:
- After duplicate your pic, choose Channels, press Ctrl+A to select Green
channel then press Ctrl+C to copy and Ctrl+V to paste it into RGB channel. Come back to
Layers pallete, lower opacity to 50%, we have:
- Create a new color balance layer. Its to increase the cyan tone in
the pic so if your pic has this tone already, adjust it carefully.
- Create a new curves layer. Its to make the cyan tone down a bit also
gain a bit magenta on the model skin. This step is optional:
- Create a new selective color layer. Take care of Red channel if your model skin is good enough.
- Create a new Hue/Saturation layer. This step to give the life on the skin and lips. Its optional.
- New Brightness/contrast layer, then i use soft black brush to eraser the model:
- After this step we see some light wrong color on her hair, neck,
arm and hand. So i create a new clayer, set to color 70%, use soft
brush, color 2d2f27 to paint over these parts.
We have final result:
This is result with another method:
3. Vintage effect:
