Nostalgic

June 30th, 2009 In Blog Posts, Designing, Tutorials by xsabrina.chic

How’s your school days guys and gals? Welcome back to my blogsite!

After designing my sister’s wordpress theme, I tried to sit back and relax at my bedroom and thinking of my future career. Ah.. I don’t want to think about it for the mean time. While sittin’ on my bed, my idea clicked me to photography. Later on I will show you how to make an old-fashioned effect of photography.

Cozenshock: Nostalgic Photography Effect
Retro Photography

Nostalgic means “old-fashioned” style. I took this photo in a very simple shot and edited it in Photoshop to make it Retro/Nostalgic photography. Hmm.. Maybe not the perfect one, but still look like oldish :?: He is Lans from CozenShock.com; he blogs about the entertainment and new knowledge using its resources such as photographs, reviews and other trivia. Nice representation on this shot, imagine he holds camera.

NOSTALGIC PHOTO EFFECT TUTORIAL

1. Choose your photo you want to be edited as old-fashioned photography effect. I used a photo which was taken at Municipal Park of Marikina City.

2. New Layer > Nostalgic Photography Effect Fill it with black [#000000]. Then after filling it black, use Nostalgic Photography Effect tool with hardness of 0% and erase the black part of the photo you want to emphasize.

3. Make the black layer as Soft Light Blending Option. Where can I see that?
Then you should have something like this:

4. Again, New Layer > Nostalgic Photography Effect Fill it with darker green [#0f1500]. And change its Blending Option to Exclusion. So you should have the final output like what I have here:

Note:
* You should have layers like this.
* It can be something like, color blueish, yellowish, or any color that you want, depending on the color of your Exclusioned Layer. Try to experiment on your own ;-)
* There are some other techniques in editing your nostalgic photo effect, I just showed you the easiest/ or might be the easiest way.

Here are some of my Old World Photography Collections
Okay, I hope you have learned once again! Thanks for reading and enjoy your Nostalgic Photo Effect!

Reminiscence: I just want to say thanks to Armie, the one who approached me on the Jeepney, yeah inside the Jeepney! I was shocked when I heard, “Miss ikaw ba ung xsabrina.chic ng Vixenart.net?” Gulat ako kasi hindi ko akalain na may mag-aapproach sa’kin ng ganun.. Eh kakaupo pa lang namin ni Lans sa Jeep :razz: Salamat, salamat ng marami! Please extend my regards to your sister :smile:
