Today I'm going to be showing you how to create an outrun style photography image
So welcome to another tutorial and today we're going to be looking at how to create this very
Artistic outrun synthwave style images that you see and they're very popular these days
Now if you're not familiar with outrun and synthwave
it's more like a kickback towards 80s themed
Iconography especially these kind of colors
Now it seems very popular these days and I've actually been posting some of these types of images myself
So some people asked me how do I make these kind of crazy
colors right and
You can do you can do this to some point on
lightroom I
mean
It's more than just the temperature and stuff like that it's actually
there's limits to Lightroom you know you can probably go down to the channel mixer and
Push this as hard as you can but to be honest if you really want to be able to change the colors
you should
come to Photoshop so we're going to be editing this image in Adobe Photoshop
instead of Lightroom
Now today we're going to be using, what's called the channel mixer so go to image
Adjustments
Channel mixer now
This might be a little intimidating especially to people who've never used Photoshop
especially since there's a red green and
Blue channel okay so what we're going to do is we're going to go to the channel mixer image
Adjustments channel mixer there's the R there's the G there's B now this might seem complicated to you
but I just told you guys how it works and
if you if you want our maker in-depth tutorial about how that works but basically
you just want to play around with the colors you know this is how you mess with the colors
And
you just want to play around until you get the the colors that you want you know I
Know it's actually much more complicated than that but the only way you're going to learn this is if you go in there
And you just start playing around with the sliders that's that's that's the truth really
So that's exactly what we're going to do and
Sometimes I just like to switch these numbers around to see what happens for example I'm going to switch the red and the blue
So I'm put 0 in the red
Blue is going to give 100 and now you can start to see like the color is just kind of switch flipped over right
We're going to go to the blue we're going to do the same we're gonna give zero to the blue
and we're going to give red to 100
So that's the channel mixer
basically in a nutshell and you can just go in there and play with sliders until you get the colors that you want I
can't give you any specific way of
doing this because this is really to your taste like are how whatever
Colors you want and I know some of you're going to think this is like very over processed style
Photography and it is I'm not going to lie but you know there's
there's a
Subculture of people who like this
including myself like I steer more towards the artistic portion of photography and
I love things like vaporwave and outrun Synthwave and cyberpunk style editing so
If this is not your taste that's cool you know that's just some of us like it and
Yeah so let's see how we got the image that I got earlier and now I'm just going to like play around
cuz that's really what I do
There is no
Set way of doing these kind of things you just kind of have to go in there and see what works you know
just go back and forth to sliders and whatever is to your taste
So as you guys can see I'm just gonna going back and forth to the sliders like there is no
There is no set way of doing this
it's just to your liking however you like it and
that's all there is to it so
Okay so we kind of got something that I I
Like you can say although I know many people many normal photographers and like would not like this but
if you're into the out run startup editing
We're just weird like that
we like this kind of thing right so
I'm just going to give you these settings just so you can get an idea, I got negative 10 for the red and
100 for blue this is the red Channel we're gonna go to green
90 on green negative 10 on the blue and for the blue channel we got 100 on the red and
that's it so now
From here you can do anything you like you can go back to Adobe Lightroom and
Edit using the sliders there or you can just stay here in Adobe Photoshop
You don't play with the brightness the contrast actually I want a little bit more contrast I
like that
You want to give it some more
vibrance that's fine
Or saturation so really
it's all up to you guys you guys can do whatever you want you know your creativity is limits and
there is no right or wrong on how to
How to edit out run, style photos because as you guys see
There's there's all kinds of colors you know so I was kind of surprised, someone's made a tutorial about this online
but
There you have it if anyone is interested and yeah you could actually call this like a vapor, vapor wave tutorial
also like
It really depends which colors you use there's out-run colors and there's paper on and you can even do more cyberpunks out edits for this
but really it's up to you guys
So I hope you enjoyed this
Outrun Tutorial it's really simple
But like I said there is no step-by-step guide for this just cut go in there
Play with the sliders until you get the outrun
Edit that you want but I'm really actually like this a lot you know the pinks and the blues
