june_daley Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 <p>Hi everyone<br />I came across this photo on deviantart... would like to do something similar, any suggestions on how to proccess in photoshop CS3 to create this effect? Also, looks to me like the photo was taken in shade or on a cloudy day, as there are no harsh shadows - would this be correct or can the soft lighting be achieved in photoshop afterwards?<br /><a href=" />Thanks guys!<br />June</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peter Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 <p>Essentially it looks to me like adjustments to produce low contrast and low color saturation (look at those reds in particular) with adjustments to the color balance (for somewhat blue / blue green tonal over lay) plus maybe a little gaussian blur to some regions of the photo an ethereal look.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
june_daley Posted July 16, 2009 Author Share Posted July 16, 2009 <p>Thanks for that Peter - I agree that it's very low in contrast and saturation. It looks very much like noise has been added to the photo after as well, guessing this would just be a noise filter in PS. But - that ethereal quality is definitely there like you say... hmm how to do this!</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a._j._jacobs Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 <p>Looks like a vintage or retro PS action...google it or look it up on DeviantArt, there are a million and one of them...:)</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
