Vintage colors effect action for Photoshop
Posted by Emanuele Feronato on 01/26/07 in Photoshop
Today I found an interesting tutorial on deviantart and once fitted to my needs, I converted it to a Photoshop Action
Look at the colors:
Before
After
Download the action and give me some feedback

Hi. I got banned from dA…. I’ll be back on when I can.
But that is not the point! This is:
In my opion (just mine, you may not think this) I think the Before looks WAY better. It’s just brighter and brings out the car where as it doesn’t in After and also in After I was finding it diffcult it locate the arm coming out of the car.
Hey, take no notice of me…

way to miss the point pamela… This is a cool effect. Colors look like a faded 70’s sweater catalog.

I do think this is a cool effect. When I saw the ‘after’ I immediately thought of the pictures of my dad when he was young and growing up in the 70’s, driving his orange van and sporting a sweet mini hippy white-boy fro. Way to go!

I haven’t used this yet, but I think that your sample looks great. This is a very popular effect out right now. I will incorporate it soon with some of the other levels adjustments I use. Thanks!

Hey Emanuele,
Looks great. I’ve tried it out but I don’t really know what preferences I should plug in under the Fill window. How do I do that?
Thanks!

I was looking for something with this effect and I tried to make my own for several hours before coming across this. I used it and it turned my photo slighly blue but I added some “sepia” tone and it gave the effect I was looking for! Thank you!
Ps. Pamela you’re an idiot.

This is THE BEST Retro effect Photoshop action. I am wondering if you could write a nice action for Photoshop to give photos the archies card effect
