COLORIZE
A simple effect that can create some effective results is 'colorize'. Colorizing can change the mood of an image by making it feel colder (blue) or warmer (red). Images can be changed to match the colour scheme of the website/publication you are creating.

The result is an eye catching postcard advertisement for this website....
