: What do you call this image effect and how is it achieved? I've been trying to describe this effect on google and got no useful results. Seems like its a mix between a tint via the overlay

@Shanna688

Without testing, the result on the image you provided looks as achievable with :


decreasing saturation
applying cold photo filter
adjusting shadows and highlights
little bit of surface blur
little bit of sharpness in the end

As per my comment, this effect can easily be made with a gradient.

Below is an image that has had a Gradient Map applied (purple & orange) and had the blending mode set to Screen.

The potency of the effect is determined by the colors as well as the opacity. Playing around with different blending modes may also lead to some other cool results.
