It's been quite a long time since I announced the HolgaRoid COLOR action set. Finally here it is. Thanks to =mamazmeilor for beta testing
MAIN ACTIONS ·Type 88 for high and wide format photos ·Type 89 for wide and wide format photos Don't take the Types too serious. It's basically the format not the tones ;]
·Cold Film (with a cyan shift) for wide and high format photos If Polaroid film is too cold the prints turn out bluish.
AFTER EFFECTS · Dust'n'Dirt adds a layer with dust particles
· Dirty Frame (with texture) adds a layer with a custom texture. Check the texture OLDPAPERTEXTURE.JPG that came along with this package to get an idea
· Bad Load (beta) adds a layer with streaks that appear if the film isn't loaded properly
· Double Exposure (1 file) duplicates the photo layer to get results like this
· Double Exposure (2 files) like the first one, but with two different photos
· 4 Color and 3 Black & White light leaks · Finisher with and without drop shadow · Resizer for WWW (700 px width)
Like always this actions pack gives you the total freedom to change any value or to disable layers. As a matter of fact I recommend you to fine-tune your output manually to get better results. Automated procedures like actions can't work perfectly with any photo - specially when it comes to colour tweaking.
The ZIP includes:
HolgaRoid COLOR 1.0 by rawimage.atn OLDPAPERTEXTURE.jpg INSTRUCTIONS.TXT (Please read the instructions if you don't know how to use Photoshop actions)
The HolagRoid Generator works with Photoshop CS or higher in any language. May also work with Photoshop 7.
Phenomenal set of actions! I've been trying out so many actions that are meant to give photos a retro look, and your Holgaroid style is my favorite. I adore the extra options like the light leaks and dirty frame . Thank you so much for sharing your great work. Much gratitude!
I am using Pola/Holgaroid frequently. It is very useful for vignetting and resisizing to my beloved format.
