How to "warm up" a photo in PhotoLab?

[colin_g]

Something like that would be so helpful. Ending up with a flat looking photo is still something I struggle with in PL but avoid quite easily in Lr. My workaround is usually to finish off in Nik but that is indeed a workaround.

Have you tried applying micro contrast either globally or locally? It tends to make images pop.

Yup tried that but only with limited success. It is the way PL handles lights and dark I think. This is not a problem with all images and is difficult to describe but rather like an image being a matt finish rather than a gloss (if that makes sense).

Dear @zkarj ,

I’m not really sure, but I think I’ve seen a YouTube video by Antony Morganti where he is working with color efex pro to give some photos a warm touch. But I haven’t the link at the moment.
Maybe you can take a look for the Color Efex channel of him.
