How can I create this type of effect?!

[zakdaniell]

I want to create this effect on my photography, and was just wondering what would be the best way to achieve this? I wonder if there is a filter that photo's can run through to make them look like this..?

Any help would be appreciated! :mrgreen:

This is a link to a photo with the effect I want to recreate. Please include the name of the effect and what photo editing program was used.

those aren't photos I have created, there photos I want to learn how to create, like if there is any filters that can make photo's look like the ones in the samples I uploaded.

Im not too sure what the name of this effect is.

well first, for the actually photograph you would probably play around with the contrast and the saturation there.

to make the different colors, get either paintbrush or a gradient thats foreground to transparent and put it where ever you'd like on the photo. then play with your blending modes. try screen...
i just made a tut similar to this earlier today, but i cant post links. check my website on here, and it should be on there.

the bottom one is a simple cross process effect. PLENTY of actions to handle that.
The "red line" can be a red gradiant that is on a divide layer....

That effect, ...it actually looks like old heat damaged color film than an effect to me. It could be done with a solid color adjustment layer set to color blend mode, then paint the mask to get the look you want.

Well, you can actually fake it too. google up some images of lens flare over black areas. for example:


Crop out an area of the flare over black, to get an abstract image such as:


Now, put it on a layer over your original image and set the layer mode to 'screen'. (in your layer's window, there's a drop-down menu that says 'normal' by default. Choose 'screen' from this list) You should get something like:


viola!

photo effect name... there is none, beyond damaged film... and it was certainly not intended...

images shown are from damaged film, caused by light fog... from a leaking camera back...
the red cast, tells you, it was fogged through the film base...
last image is a transparency ( slide) printed onto regular color paper
a cross-process would look completely different... depending on the film type...

I spent 25 years in a commercial photolab...

in Photoshop... blended layers of color, with a gradient...
