Day 28 Photo Effects

I wanted to do something other than 3D today because thats all I was doing all day at work. I was interested in what invisible.co and cignoh were up to by manipulating photos to look like film. I did the same tutorial they both posted. I cropped the images to 16:9 ratio first. I had to change some of the tutorial settings because they seemed not to work on higher resolution images. I wound up recording actions in Photoshop to automate most of the settings. One could do this to video in after effects fairly easily.

  • I *really* like your effects! You’ve given the photos a very tranquil setting. The second photo, of the chair by the window…wow, what a mood. Do you mind sharing your photoshop actions?

  • nice, i like your results a lot! they are subtle, very nicely done.

  • Thanks invicible.co and cignoh. I was inspired to do these two images after seeing your good work.
    I will share my actions when I figure out how to export them. I’m using CS3. Just a warning - the filter settings need to be changed depending on the size of your image. All of my photos are the same resolution because they are from the same camera at highest quality. Also certain steps involving brushes should be done by hand.
