This Photoshop effect makes cool colors (ex. blue) darker and warm colors (ex. red) warmer. The results are glowing skin tones, dark grass and tress, and vivid colors.
Finding Cool & Warm Colors
Step 1
Open a photo you would like to edit. Or, you may use the photo used in this tutorial (from iStockPhoto). Step 2
The Lab color mode contains a chroma A channel that identifies the cool and warm colors. To access this channel, change the color mode to Lab color (Image> Mode> Lab Color)![Lab Color Mode](http://photoshoptutorials.ws/images/stories/Photoshop%20Tutorials/Photo%20Boost/lab.gif)
Step 3
Now that we're editing in Lab color, we can grab the channel. But before we do this, we need to create a new layer (Layer> New> Layer or Shift+Ctrl+N) .![New Layer](http://photoshoptutorials.ws/images/stories/Photoshop%20Tutorials/Photo%20Boost/new-layer.gif)
Step 4
After creating a new layer, we'll add the chroma A channel to the layer. With the new layer selected, use the Apply Image tool (Image> Apply Image) to set the following properties:Layer: Merged
Channel: a
Invert: Unchecked
Blending: Normal
Opacity: 100%

Blending and Tweaking
Now that we have our layer with the cool and dark colors defined, we can blend the layer into the image and adjust the results.Step 5
To blend the layer into the image, simply change the blending mode of the top layer to Soft Light.![Soft Light Blending Mode](http://photoshoptutorials.ws/images/stories/Photoshop%20Tutorials/Photo%20Boost/soft-light.jpg)
Step 6
We'll be using the Levels tool to adjust the effect. Open the Levels tool (Image> Adjustments> Levels or Ctrl+L). To increase the effect, move the black and white input sliders towards the center.![The Levels Tool](http://photoshoptutorials.ws/images/stories/Photoshop%20Tutorials/Photo%20Boost/levels.jpg)
Step 7
Now that we're done editing, change the image mode back to RGB color (Image> Mode> RGB Color).![RGB Color](http://photoshoptutorials.ws/images/stories/Photoshop%20Tutorials/Photo%20Boost/rgb-color.gif)
Step 8
This effect may cause some skin tones to be over saturated. To fix this, simply using the Hue/Saturation tool (Image> Adjustments> Hue/Saturation or Ctrl+U) and lower the saturation.![The Hue/Saturation tool](http://photoshoptutorials.ws/images/stories/Photoshop%20Tutorials/Photo%20Boost/hue-saturation.jpg)
