I tried to play with the LOMO effect (there is a toturiel someware in the forum) but didn't quit made it. So ai made some expriments and came out with the a set of steps.
I started with a camera not much better then the LOMO - a Nokia E51 phone - this is the original photo:
I made the following steps: Adjustment -> Auto level Adjustment -> Brightness/Contrast -> Brightness +10 Duplicate Layer Effects -> Photo -> Vignette -> Radius 0.55 (Upper Layer) Layer Properties -> Opacity: 159 (Upper layer) ** (option: Adjustment -> Black & White) Adjustment -> Brightness/Contrast -> B -5, C +30 (Lower L) Adjustment -> Hue/Saturation -> Saturation +20 (Lower L) Layers -> Merge Layer Down Adjustment -> Hue/Saturation -> Saturation +20
This is the color result:
This is the optional B&W:
I would love to here what U think and if any of them came close to a good result.
