Photoshop-tip: Adding cinematic color contrast to your images

Adding cinematic color contrast to your photos (usually a warm subject and a cooler background) is a classic way to literally and figuratively enhance your subject. Many movies and television series also work according to that principle. In photography, you can already do this ‘in-camera’ by, for example, lighting your subject with a warmer-than-standard continuous light or by placing a warm color filter on your flash. But what if you only think about it after your shoot, or you want to enhance an existing effect? Then this less-than-three-minute Photoshop tip may come in handy!
