I'd like to add some vintage effect to a totally digital holiday pic. I really like my Zorkies and jupiters, but don't want to carry them on holidays...Smile

What do you think of this pic? Is it similar to that type of scans? Some good idea for even better result?



Thanks for visiting!

Can you share with us how you did it ? If not too difficult to explain I think that will be useful for most of us!

Ok, no problem...Smile

The most important part is how to add grain. In this step I used Gimp.
1. Decompose the img to HSV layers
2. Add some noise to the SATURATION layer
3. Blur (very light) the same layer
4. Compose to get back the image

After that I used lightroom to modify the white balance. Zorki's pics a bit green...added some corner darkness etc.

But the grain simulation is the meat...
