Introducing Rose Tint Effect

By Anthony Dito

A soft, romantic wash that warms highlights and adds a subtle rosy glow.

What it does

The effect I was going for was viewing someone through rose-tinted glasses. The spirit of this effect is love and Valentine's Day. I hope you find it a good tool to express yourself.

How the effect works

The Rose Tint tool is a short pipeline that stacks a few gentle adjustments, all scaled by a single Overall Strength control. You can adjust this to fit your needs by editing the operations the tool performs.

  1. Saturation boost: a 30% saturation adjustment is applied to your image.
  2. Warm chroma shift: a small chroma offset pushes hues toward a warm rose.
  3. Brightness lift: brightness is increased by 10%.
  4. Pink overlay: a pink color is blended into the image.
  5. Vignette: a subtle vignette is added at the end.

All of these operations are scaled with an overall strength parameter, set to 50% by default.
