What is a shadow? Simply, a dark area, right? Now, is there any way to make a selection of dark areas? Yes! In this tutorial, we will first use the RGB Channel to make a selection based on "luminosity". Which means, the brighter areas will be selected and the darker areas won't be selected. However, since we want to modify just the opposite (i.e. dark areas), we will invert the selection. Then, putting only the dark areas on its own layer, we'll change its blend mode to "screen". Remember, "Screen" is a blend mode which brightens up stuff! And therefore, that should do the trick!

However, there might be situations where the shadows may turn out to be faded or you might observe some color shifts. We'll also discuss what to do then. I have enough examples to get that covered. Hope this video helps you.

4 Amazing Ways to Give Your Images a Cinematic Look in Photoshop! In this video, we'll break down the Anatomy of the Classical Film Effect or Cinematic Look and discover interesting ways to achieve the same.

Broadly speaking, there are three basic elements which make up the Cinematic Effect or the Film Look. In other words, cinematic color grading must involve these three fundamental elements:

1. A Cinematic Effect is a little faded. It can have as much contrast as you desire but the darkest area will be a little brighter and the brightest area will be a little darker. Of course, there are some exceptions, however, this is the most common element we observe in almost all film effects.

2. A Film has a little tint to it. It can be warm or cool, have different colors in highlights and shadows, giving it a little cross processing effect.

3. Aspect Ratio: If you apply the standard aspect ratios for cinema or perform some research to find out the aspect ratio of whatever film or camera you are emulating, it would make a tremendous difference in getting your image dramatically closer to the traditional look.

Apart from these three elements, you can incorporate other elements as well, like noise, dust and scratches and even light leaks to make your images more creative.
