How to Easily Make a Cinematic Color Grading in Photoshop

In today’s tutorial, I’ll show you how to create a cinematic color grading in Photoshop.

The cinematic style is no longer limited to films! Many designers and photographers use color grading on their work to create an entirely distinct image and attract the viewer’s attention. There are various Photoshop approaches for creating a cinematic look. Different ways employ solid color fill layers while others may heavily rely on the Camera RAW filter. However, the one I’ll show you here is easy to build. It works on any image, requires one adjustment layer, and takes less than two minutes to make.

For this guide, I’ll be using Photoshop 2022.
