ssaamm 3 Report post Posted May 27, 2011 (edited) I have put together a collection of vintage-style effects based on actual vintage photographs, for use in making new stuff look older. You can get Curves+ here Download: >>Click Here<< The photo I used was taken with a digital camera, and not modified aside from the vintage effect.

Ego Eram Reputo 1,985 Report post Posted May 28, 2011 I like this idea! Thank you ssaamm. Note: A help file in the zip would have been helpful to newbies , so here's what you do with the download: 1. Download it - of course! 2. Unzip it 3. Copy or move the 6 XML files to the location C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\Documents\Paint.NET User Files\Effect Presets\Curves+ 4. Now when you open Curves+ there will be the 'Vintage' collection added to the list of presets (top dropdown list in the dialog). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Goonfella 215 Report post Posted May 28, 2011 This is great! Thanks very much ssaamm. ( can you believe I never even knew there were presets in Curves+ until now - oops. ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ssaamm 3 Report post Posted May 28, 2011 (edited) Thanks guys! Ironically, this could be done in curves if it had presets. I'd like to see any results of this and get feedback so I could attempt to make another set of curves for something else.

pyrochild 332 Report post Posted May 29, 2011 Very nice, though I don't think the Tutorials forum is the right place for this. But I can't think of where it should go, maybe because I'm ridiculously tired. So I'll just leave it here until I or someone else thinks of a better idea. Also adding a link to this in the Curves+ thread. Ironically, this could be done in curves if it had presets. Unironically, anything Curves+ can do could be done in Curves if it had whatever. That's the point of Curves+ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's the point of Curves+ I realize this now...Ahh whatever The internet seems to generally like debating about irony, but that's kind of a no-brainer now that I think about it.

PaulH 0 Report post Posted June 1, 2011 Hello, I'm brand-spanking new to this sort of photo manipulation (or any sort of photo manipulation), but I thought I'd have a go at a PDN version of the PS lomography tutorial, here. I know the colours aren't right, but I'm still frightened of the curves. History Vignette Curves+ (can't remember which vintage effect I used) -- then added some more green Combined Adjustments Local Contrast Enhancement (high amount) Sharpen (oh so sharp) Mine is on the left; Original in the middle; The DPS version on the right.

Ego Eram Reputo 1,985 Report post Posted June 2, 2011 Hi PaulH, welcome to the forum! That's a nice effect you're created there. I like it a lot - it's almost 'hyper-real' (which is the way I tend to describe it to myself). Great job! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mackenzieh 13 Report post Posted April 5 (edited) The download link is wrong. It says it's a zip file but when you go to download it, the link takes you to a different page. Edited April 5 by mackenzieh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maximilian 1,197 Report post Posted April 5 The download link appears broken to me as well, so here's my backup of the vintage settings: Curves+ Vintage Effects.zip (hope it helps) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
