Horror Film Lighting Effect:

Steps to follow:

Step one:

Open any favorite picture of yours in Photoshop. Let us assume a picture of a woman here.

Step two:

Now go to layer menu and choose ‘Duplicate Layer’.

Step Three:

Now Press Ctrl+Shift+U key on the keyboard. You may also choose Image > Adjustments > Desaturate. This will convert your picture into black and white mode.

Step four:

Once the picture has been converted in to black and white mode it is time to set the opacity. Visit the layer palette, choose opacity and bring it to 50%.

Step five:

Choose Layer > Duplicate Layer, and after that choose Linear Light from blending mode in layers palette, and set opacity to 87%. Look at the picture below!

Step six:

Here you need to create a new layer. Under foreground color, set this color as #443D3D. Now take the Paint Bucket Tool (G) and click on the picture to fill it. You may also use a keyboard shortcut (Alt+Backspace).

Step seven:

Now go to Layers palette and choose Overlay under blending mode. Set the Opacity to 87%.

Step eight:

Choose Filter > Noise > Add Noise.

Set the options via checking the Gaussian and Monochromatic button. Also set the amount to 45%.

Step nine:

Choose Filter > Stylize > Solarize.

Step ten:

Choose Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Levels. Thereafter, set the channel to RGB and input levels to 88, 0.73 and 230 respectively. Also set the output to 0 and 255 respectively.

Step eleven:

Choose Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Curves, and set the color options to RGB and Input to 204 and Output to 147.

Step twelve:

Now choose Layer >Adjustment Layer > Color Balance, and then set color levels as +62, +82 and -100. Select the Midtones button and check the Preserve luminosity option.

Finally, our work looks like this:

We’re done!

Have a superb day!
