Editing field trip photos

June 22, 2019 Krystian S Leave a comment

This is just a short blog post showing how I tried to achieve a vintage, slightly faded effect to the photos I took on the field trip.

This is the original photo I started out with.

Here I have applied the black& white filter to the photo and made some changes to achieve the desired effect. I mainly lowered the value of cyans and blues, but also made minor changes to all the other colour values.

Next I applied the exposure filter and I have increased the offset value in order to make the photo look more faded.

Then I used the Levels filter and applied the ‘Midtones Darker’ preset in order to make the photo stand out more.

Finally, I have used the Curves filter and applied the ‘Lighter’ preset in order to bring the photo back to looking faded after making the midtones darker in the previous step.
