RE: FLASH: Graveshow . . . Photoshop/Sepia . . old photo effect request

[Daniel Votino]

Graveshow,


the color i believe youre looking for may be duotine sepia.

these are the actions i often use for old photo effects

in photoshop try this . . . . . . 


convert pic to rgb . . . 

make new adjustment layer

type:hue/saturation

without colorize

adjustment: hue/saturation adjustment list

hue/saturation adjustment

hue: 0

saturation: -100

lightness: 0

make a new adjustment layer

type:colorbalance

shadows level: 6,0,-14

midtones levels: 15,-5,-19

highlight levels: 5, -9, -20

with preserve luminosity

for variation, try changing the opacity of the color balance layer

or try cahninging its blending mode, overlay, hard light, soft light,

etc.


for a heavier sepia effect a variation would be . . .

variations in peranthesis ()
