11 Tutorial: Lomography

finally here my tutorial!
this is the easiest tutorial ever in my blog. it contains only 6 steps to complete the whole tutorial
here we go!

Step 1

Open a photo to edit.

Step 2

Follow the steps below according to the version of Photoshop you're using:

For Photoshop CS2 or newer :

1. Choose Filter> Distort> Lens Correction.
2. Inside the Lens Correction filter, adjust the settings in the Vignette section to create the vignette.

For Photoshop CS or older :

1. Create a new layer and select the new layer.
2. Use the Lasso tool and create an oval selection. It doesn't have to be perfect.
3. Inverse the selection (Select> Inverse or Shift+Ctrl+I).
4. Press Shift+Backspace to open the Fill tool. In the Fill tool, set the contents to Black and click OK.
5. Deselect (Select> Deselect or Ctrl+D).
6. Open the Gaussian Blur filter tool (Filter> Blur> Gaussian Blur). In the Gaussian Blur window, ensure that the Preview checkbox is checked and adjust the Radius to blur the edges so that a vignette is created.
7. Reduce the opacity a little. An opacity around 75% should produce good results.

Step 3

Inside the Channels pallet (Window> Channels), select the red channel.

Step 4

With the red channel selected, use the Brightness/Contrast tool (Image> Adjustments> Brightness/Contrast) and increase the contrast. The higher you set the contrast, the stronger the color effect will be. I found that increasing the contrast by 50 produced the most realistic results.

Step 5

Now select the green channel and use the Brightness/Contrast tool (Image> Adjustments> Brightness/Contrast) to increase the contrast by the same amount you did in the previous step.
