Hi all

I'm basically looking for some guidance for a specific style of PP. I want to create quite a muted style, as seen in this photo from Google.

I feel totally lost trying to replicate this style, as it's so different from my usual PP style.

Any help would be great.
 
Hi Mark.

I am no expert at all but your portrait before and after (number 1) looks quite muted and not to far off what you want to do.
Muted being the buzz word can you not just desaturate the image to get this look ? I prefer muted tones mostly and generally desaturate colours and add to some colours where needed. Using layers and masks.

Why not post a photo you want to achieve this on and let us all have crack at it for you...what PP software are you using?

I'll stick one up later this evening once I'm home. I have both Lightroom and Photoshop available, but I prefer working in Lightroom

I meant the portrait in your Flickr stream. (assuming that is your stream in your signature)

Aha, my bad! Once I get home I'll dig the RAW out and see what adjustments I made to that!
 
It's all done using split toning and curves in Lightroom. Have a mess about and experiment until it looks right! :)
