Style No. 2 »
Muted Look or Soft Haze effect

Just like the opposite of our first style, muted look eliminates the colours in the image.
It gives to the image unreal look and is used very often used for main blog or Facebook posts images to create that amazing dreamy feeling. It is perfect for images with text headlines inside because the image doesn’t disturb reading of the text.

It is perfect that you don’t need to insist on image quality here. This is great if you have grainy and noisy pictures, with great composition or atmosphere. But unlikely you can not use it for high contrast settings or large print photography from original photography file.

Style No. 3 »
Monochromatic look

This is very similar to the Soft haze effect. Setting your image to black & white colour will let you overlay it with any desired colour. As Mono means one, we can concentrate only on creating one colour image.

If you wish to create the pure one colour image you can do so with the blending mode set to Colour value. It is suitable for white or negative text if there is enough contrasting colour used. To make the colour stand out you will need to set your image opacity low.

Style No. 4 »
Vintage or Retro look

This low contrast, faded, wash-out or aged style, that looks like old photographs, will always give you that sense of history. With this style come along all the great memories. Ordinary image or even boring photo will look more interesting. You can, of course, make your images look more interesting and make them look better with using composition rules.
