Cold Cinematic Photo Effect

Built around the aesthetics of early digital imaging and color-shifted night photography, this cold cinema effect brings a stylized layer of neo-noir atmosphere to portraits and urban scenes. Skin tones lean into cyan, while shadows pull deep blue and highlights crackle with a slightly oversharpened gloss, mimicking the look of vintage CCD sensors and underexposed tungsten film.

Includes two high-resolution PSD files (vertical & horizontal) with organized layers and easy-to-use Smart Objects. Perfect for editorial portraits, fashion lookbooks, nightlife campaigns, music covers, cinematic thumbnails, and sci-fi character renders. Works equally well with photos and digital artwork.

This resource is created, and fully compatible with Adobe Photoshop. For the best experience, we recommend to use the latest Creative Cloud version of the app.
