ive seen alot of people with this effect(colori editing) when it comes to photography but i have no idea what they use or what they do to make it that vintage look

& plz answer if you can but dont say PHOTO SHOP ive kinda clued into that already

Answer 1

Hmm, I'm not exactly sure what effects you would use in photo shop, but try something like turning up the contrast, adjusting the brightness, and/or turning up the exposure.

Answer 2

I think that the saturation might be turned up.

This can be accomplished using photoshop!

I'm not 100% sure that it's saturation though . . .

Answer 3

This is a vintage, or acid effect that can be accomplished using Photoshop. It's easiest to use actions.

Here's one called Professional Retro. Here's the example:

(move your mouse over the photo)

And here's where you download the action:

Here's another one called Urban Acid (one of my faves). Here's the example:

Here's the file:

To install and use these, (unzip them first) all you do is open Photoshop, access the "actions" palette, drag and drop the action into an empty spot in the actions palette. Once you do that all you do is click the little arrow to expand the action and then click on the first step in the action and hit the little play button on the bottom of the action palette.

If you need any help just email me.

to this:

if you dont like the color balance just go to layers then merge visible and after that go to image>adjustments>variations and add more red or yellow or whatever floats your boat and it should come out looking great!!!  hope this helps!! pick stranger danger as best answer lol
