Vintage Lighting/ Retro Effect

[aeonix]

Is there a way to do this?

EXAMPLES:

If not, can someone write a tutorial?

If there isn't a way to do it... how would someone write a tutorial?

I'm guessing youj could mess with saturation/brightness/contrast.

Fiddle with Curves - I'm gonna try this -it ooks cool.

Anything is possible.

You seem to misunderstand my humor:

You ask if it's possible, and then say that if not, you'd like someone to write a tutorial...

make a new layer over your picture, fill with white,select a rectangle smaller than the canvas size, gaussian blur it. Set the layer's opacity to 64.

select the original layer, and run curves.

Set it to RGB mode

For blue, put a dot on the far left 1.5 squares up, and on the far right, another dot .5 squares down

for red and green. make it so they reach maximum value just before they reach the far right.

Hope this helps.

For your 1st sample image.

Try color filter. (Blue-ish)

Wait: I have an idea.

What color and hue would vintage lighting be?

[Myrddin]

I would think yellow or blue because of photograph deterioration. The vintage style sponges off primarily from old photos, and with them being old comes also their degradation in yellow or blue hints. By and large due to the chemicals used for the production of the photograph.

before following Ash and Myrddin's suggestion lower the contrast value...

EDIT:

Something like this? (Original - Left, Manipulated - Right)

Actually this is pluginable!

I was hoping this thread would bring that tutorial up.

I have been looking for it for weeks.

Say, if I was to write a tutorial for this, would it get locked?

My suggestion:

Find a good PS version of the tut you desire and convert it...

I would be using color filter and part of the tutorial mentioned above.
