Description
This is my second tutorial. I would really appreciate any feedback you may have
If you use the tutorial on a deviation, please make a comment here with a link so I can have a look at it (and without fail... comment on your work
).Good luck!
PS: See below for credits.
SUMMARY:

Name it "Tone"
Set the Mode to Color
Click OK
Click OK again

Click OK
Adjust the Hue of the Tone layer as necessary
(in this case set to -175)
Select the BW Film Layer
Layer -> New -> Layer... (Shift+Ctrl+N)
Name it "Grain"
Set the Mode to Hard Mix
Set the Fill to 60%
Fill the layer with black colour

You're Done!
You don't have to repeat this whole process for other photos, since it is
non-destructive. All you need to do is replace the Photo layer with another photo and
readjust the following settings:
- Tone Layer hue
- Exposure Layer levels
- Grain Layer fill
I hope you were able to take something from this tutorial.

I love the way pics turn out with this! Really good, a bit faster would be nice. Can I ask what did you use to make it, I've been looking for an application to let me do something like this.

Thanks! It was made with Macromedia (now Adobe) Captivate: [link]
It costs though. I now use this free software: Wink [link]
It isn't as pretty but works just as well for what I need.

Wow, I think I'll use this! Very thorough and clear. Can I just ask what version of photoshop this is?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
From what I recal it may have been either CS 1, or the version before CS 1.

i think it gives the photo a very nice, old look... the best i've seen. i agree with catkate, though. it was a bit slow, and i found the bubbles unnecessary. i'd like to see more from you!

Hey, thanks! I'm thining of making some more, but this time using video, so it is faster and I can get through more stuff much more easily. I've switched to GIMP, but I can use GIMPShop which is similar to photoshop and practically make tutorials for both at the same time

nice work but I think it some complicated for doing a simple work! (I don't want to offend you)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It is really hard to offend me
Though if you have any tips or suggestions I'd *really* appreciate them!

desaturate, exposure, lights/shadow, curves. there are many tools in photoshop, more simple to use. (imho)

erm.. a bit faster?
others,
suggestion : don need to box the option that we need to click next.
reason : because u already show it in ur bubble step and also wat u are going to click next.
additional : u also show it in ur "Artist's Comments".. so u can save up the trouble to do the box thinggy.
other than that.. every look great like the last one XD
ganna try that out after my 2 suffering weeks of final exam >_<
keep up the good work *tumbsup*

Yeah, I took off on this one a bit... since it is 2-3 times longer then the previous one.
I kept the "Click OK" steps (and others) to give people a prompt to pause the movie, and do it on their own.
But yeah I might do something about some of the less useful bubbles next time
Good luck with your exams!
