One of the most interesting effects that we can apply to our compositions if you are looking for a gloomy or disturbing air is the ghost effect. This effect is widely used, especially in the design of posters and posters in films of the genre, it is even used in fictional projects that belong to the thriller or even action genre.
The steps to follow to apply this effect on our photographs are as follows. Before getting down to work I remind you that the parameters that I present may vary. In this case, I have been working with a photograph with an approximate size of 500 pixels wide but if you work at another size these quantities will obviously not be the same.

El Bleach Bypass effect Lately it is very fashionable in the audiovisual environment. It is a film development technique in which a step that is normally followed is eliminated. It is about the passage through the bleach. The result is a much more contrasting image, with deep blacks, a lot of desaturation, and a slight predominance of cool tones. The presence of grain or granules also stands out. In Spanish, this method is known as blanching jump.

El bokeh effect It is one of the most used in professional photography and is a great alternative to give our images magic and quality. It can be tremendously aesthetic in night, urban and street compositions. Its name comes from Japanese and is a term that refers to blur. In the world of images, this word has been taken to speak of the ability of a photographic lens to blur lights and certain areas with a very elegant result. It's not really about the amount of blur a lens produces, but rather what this blur looks like.
It is a totally subjective quality, in reality it is not formally defined when a bokeh blur is aesthetic or not (it is a matter of visual judgment and criteria). Taking advantage of the fact that Adobe Photoshop has implemented this type of blur in its latest version, we will create the effect through the application, although if you have the means (professional camera and lenses) it would be more recommended that you do it in the traditional way, although the truth is what Adobe Photoshop offers us a tremendously good result.

The normal thing is that if we are beginners with the application we will alter our compositions through destructive editing methods. This means that we do not use any type of "protection" when we start to modify the images.
This means that we apply our effects and settings permanently without having the possibility of modifying the parameters since these are applied in a fixed way.
