How to edit a image like this on photoshop! (60's look)

[alecha]

Hi Guys,

I was wondering if one of you could help me figure out how to get my images to have this cool 60's type of vibe to it. I'm new to photography so I'm trying to learn quickly. I have basic photoshop skills but I'd like to know exactly what filters the photographer used to get these looks. I have a nikon 3110 and a nikon em 35mm.

First --> If these are not your photos, in other words you did not take them, then you should not have posted them here. You should have posted a link back to the photos.

Second --> In my opinion, I don't understand why anyone would want to make their photos look like this because {and again this is just my opinion} , they're awful!! The colors are horrendous....the skin tone is orange!

yes, I would have posted a link as to what you were looking for and posted one of YOUR photos that you were thinking of getting this look done on. Then ask for plays and what they did to accomplish this. Big help is also listing the Software you have that way folks can stick to that as well when playing.

Shoot well, Joe

Per TPF rules/regs, and possibly federal copyright law. ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑

The 'vintage' look has been all the rage for a couple of years now, and it can be acomplished in many ways.

Using Photoshop it is often done using a Curves adjustment.

Um in my original post I say I have photoshop skills so obviously means i use photoshop (cs4). Also thanks for letting me know about the copyright. I didn't know you couldn't do that.

Google for vintage photoshop actions. You will find ready made prerecorded actions to do what you want.

Not to sound too snarky, but if you have photoshop skills, this shouldn't be too tough to figure out, right? Or do you just need it spoon fed? Click here, and I'll get you started.

I have basic photoshop skills, usually all I do to my images is add heavy contrast to my black and white images. I wanted to know how to make my colored images look interesting, that is the much harder task to achieve then regular black and white. The link you provided with was helpful though. I did not know there were red, blue, and green curve feature. The most I used was rgb curve.

The skin tones are a bit harsh but everything else about the images looked nice. we all have different photography preferences so to say it's awful is a bit harsh, I asked for help not a bias opinion.

Interesting look to the photos, but limited in applications I'd say. I don't see many like that around in magazines or print. I'd say learn to do it for fun. If you have an Iphone get the apps Hipstamatic or Instagram. They both make pictures like that. That is if you only want to do it for fun and not have the ebst quality pics you can.

Carol, I joined this website just to tell you off. Why so uptight without knowing the source of the pictures anyhow? Well in this users question THEY want to know how to make a photo look old. What's the problem? Have you ever heard of creativity? Did you ever watch a movie about the past? Time machine? Do you have the SLIGHTEST sense of humor or creative adventure? There is absolutely no reason for anyone to be so condescending and negative (in a photography forum no less).
Maybe they want it to look screwed up. Did that ever cross your mind? You have 0 photos in your gallery, and made sure you checked off "My Photos Are NOT OK to Edit". Maybe some people enjoy your scathing retorts, but as a passerby, and creative soul, you sound like a real buzz kill.

 

[FrankOTheMountain]

That goes for Gaerek too. Geeze, you sound like a lot of fun to hang out with. If you have nothing to say other than crap, then zip it B.

alecha, you sound like a good creative person. Don't let these flat liners discourage you. Like it's such a big deal if there was a "60's" plugin or something.
Creativity moves really fast folks. I was searching for the same thing and landed in this gallery of the macabre. If I find something I'll report back. That is if the peanut gallery didn't ban me in the first 5 mins.

So you bumped a 6 month old thread to do so? Cool.

Because it's against Forum Rules to post images that you don't own the copyright to in the forum, hence why she edited her post and changed it to links.

Do you have the SLIGHTEST sense of humor or creative adventure? There is absolutely no reason for anyone to be so condescending and negative (in a photography forum no less).

She simply stated her opinion and even qualified it as such. What's the big deal? She wasn't condescending at all. You're 0 for 2 right now, Frank.

Maybe they want it to look screwed up. Did that ever cross your mind?

I'm sure it did, but she still voiced her opinion on the matter in a public forum.

You have 0 photos in your gallery, and made sure you checked off "My Photos Are NOT OK to Edit".

You have zero photos in your gallery too, and so do I. I also have it selected as "My photos are not OK to edit."

Maybe some people enjoy your scathing retorts, but as a passerby, and creative soul, you sound like a real buzz kill.

You're the one with the attitude issue. You joined this forum specifically to "tell someone off," when you yourself are not educated on the forum rules. If you're looking for a buzzkill, look no further than yourself.

Good day, Frank.

So it's 6 months later, who cares if it was 6 years? You are STILL a condescending flat liner. I know it's human nature to stick up for yourself, whatever, you know-it-all forum troll. :lmao:

Keep in mind, you're the one who joined the forum to "call someone out." You bumped the thread to not add to the conversation. I am aware of the forum rules, and know not to post images I don't have the copyright to... That doesn't make me a know it all. If you don't realize how sad that is by itself, then I hope this 3rd post is your last.
