In post-production, I work on the overall image first. I want to create the feeling, and that is done with color-grading and tone-mapping. Once that is done, I dial into specific areas of my image, like in this case, the glass. If I warm the whole picture, my glass gets warm, but I want to retain that blue tint you get from the sky on a sunny Summer's day.

In this quick tip, I show you how I add some blue back into my glass.

The name of the game is subtle. Repeat that 10 times, no really, repeat it over and over. Almost no effect I apply is 100%, and if I think it looks good, I usually drop it down more.
