Sepia/Orange Color Overlay

TLR Color Overlay applies colored overlays to your images for interesting artistic effects. Your image can be in RGB, CMYK, or L*a*b mode. The actions use Fill Color adjustment layers to reduce RAM consumption and file size. It is intended to be part of a future TLR Professional Photographic Effects Toolkit.

Available color overlay effects include:

  • Blue/Sepia
  • Cyan/Sepia
  • Emerald/Green
  • Green/Yellow
  • Magenta/Yellow
  • Orange/Yellow
  • Red/Yellow
  • Violet/Cyan
  • Yellow/Orange

TLR Color Overlay actions create Layer Groups/Sets on Photoshop CS/CS2/CS3/CS4. Each overlay effect is composed of two layers: a color overlay layer and a contrasting tint layer.

With the TLR Color Overlay action set, you can easily adjust the effect by altering layer opacity, the color of the overlay/tint layers, and/or the Blend If settings. By default, the actions set layer opacity to 15%, which produces a moderate effect.

TLR Color Overlay action set is a free download. Try it. If you like it, keep it and use it.

Enjoy!
