Alright, I'm going to do my absolute best to make my question clear, brace yourselves.
Essentially I want to make digital photos I take look better (weird eh...) - either by making them look more like they've been taken on film, or by making the tones nicer.
I'll start by posting a few photos with the sort of look I'm trying to achieve (I know these were shot with a digital camera, a Nikon D80):
...I'm sure you get the idea.
I once spoke to the guy who took these photos and he told me that he used photoshop to achieve this look. Very briefly he told me how to do it, but he wasn't clear, and this was about a year ago. Though I think he may have mentioned gradient maps? Overlays? I dunno...
Anyway I guess what I want to be able to have more control over the tone in my photos. I feel really lame posting more photos but I also really like the way these look though I believe they may have been shot on film:
I use a Nikon D80, and CS4, and would say I've got a pretty reasonable understanding of both. Anyway I hope I made sense. Any help on this topic would be MAJORLY amazing.
Cheers! :thumbup:
