Photoshop Post-Processing

There are times when you find the perfect photo for your design but it just doesn't have the colors you are looking for. Fortunately, in Photoshop, you can easily transfer the color palette from one image to another using various techniques (some of them a bit more time-consuming). Today, I will show you a very easy method to do it in less than 5 minutes.

But before we begin, and if you want to follow this tutorial as described, please download the following free images from Pexels which will be used as our Source and Target images:

If you feel the effect is too intense, bring down the new effect layer opacity until you are happy with the final result.
