Purple Gradient Over Black & White photograph

Pretty much a simple Photoshop tutorial where you will open a random photo and apply purple gradient overlay to make it look interesting.

Open random photo.

Click above on Image, Adjustments and select Desaturate.

Click above on Image, Adjustments and select Brightness/Contrast.

Set up the same values like I did and press OK button.

Create a new layer.

Press D key to select Black and White colors.

Then click on Set foreground color ...

... and select a purple color.

Press OK button.

Select Gradient Tool (G).

Click on gradient picker ...

... and select Foreground to Transparent.

Then choose a random gradient mode.

And draw it on a new layer.

Use history to correct mistakes. Click above on Window and choose History.

Set up the blending mode to Overlay on a new layer.

Voila.
