Just Photoshop or an addon ?

[Antonio Correia]

I want to make a collection of photographs with the same colour pallet even if they have not been shot under the same light.
I thought I could use just Photoshop for the job or perhaps jump to Luminar, ColourmapX or any other addon.

In fact, just Photoshop in combination with LR would be a better option for what I want as it would be cheaper. But certain apps look quite interesting for the job with excellent results...

Any thoughts about this ?
Thank you !

Antonio - if that is your intent, I would suggest you look up some tutorials on colour grading, as that is primarily where you are heading with this idea.

Thank you Manfred: Colour grading !
I have seen some youtubes about Match Color. But I will follow your suggestion.
Thank you !
Cheers !

Manfred, do you have a link to such a tutorial, please?

Most of my finds were for video editing work but the one you found is for stills! Good job.

Can be done in the GIMP too. Apparently.

Dude actually says "if you have a series of images that you want look similar" !!

Excellent Ted !
I will link a couple of them when I find something interesting !

I do not do video. I would like to but for the time being, I do not have any app.

Cheers !

Not surprising as this technique has its roots in the feature film industry. In the credits, in some of the older colour movies you see the mention of a Colour Timer, a Colorist, etc. they are referring to the colour grader.

In the old days colour grading was achieved by changing the development time and temperatures of the colour developer chemicals. so the "timing" was all about how long the film stayed in the developer.

Interesting. Recently, Sigma added "Teal and Orange" to it's camera Color Modes which I understand is also based on a particular done-to-death movie effect. You might find this amusing:

Thanks, Antonio. Interesting indeed.

I've never used Photoshop, so some of it was unfamiliar.
