Quick tips on pastel colors

[Sascha Haber]

Like this ?

Lifted blacks, set to blue, a lot
tamed highs, set to orange, even more
Two or three really soft masks from the top with gamma and lift to fake a flair.
Super soft gamma lighting up on her face, tracked

Thats basically it 🙂
Be bold on the two first ones, they will level each other out.

Hi Sascha,

I found this interesting used on Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy in very light way, but when I tried to lift blacks it loosed contrast…

do you mean to mask the highlights witht luma key and raise the gamma with lift up a little?

Thanks!
