How to achieve antique/vintage effect.

HI,
I'm looking to achieve a photo effect that I've seen on what I think is a album cover.
The project I'm working on (at Uni) is a natural burial site but I want my image to have a sense of death in the atmosphere, rather than just using 'death' images.
I've looked at some Actions but I can't get anything like the attatched.
First image is what I want to achieve. Second image is what I have (it's a farmland Panorama, 1200mm long x 280mm high). I've also applied several 'grunge' effects but this just made it look blurry.
Thank You

For the ground I suppose a Black & White Layer set to Blending Mode Overlay and a Hue/Saturation Layer to desaturate somewhat may suffice.
As for the sky you might need to insert a whole other image of clouds.
Which you could edit with a Curves Layer for brightness and an Adjustment Map Layer (set to Color possibly) to emulate the color shifting between the lighter and darker regions.
Edit:
As for the additional »dirt« a multiplying layer with Clouds/Difference Clouds applied might work.

How to achieve resize image effect

Can anyone tell me how to achieve this effect with image resizing in RH, as the images do at the link below? I cannot find the method in the RH Help.
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/robohelp/robohtml/WS1b49059a33f7772644666e3b1373013a398-8000.h tml

Hi there
Sorry, but RoboHelp does not offer a method to achieve this. Unfortunately that's a huge hint that Adobe isn't using RoboHelp to develop those pages.
If that's the effect you are after, you will need to roll your own with some JavaScript that does a hide and show on text and images.
One way you might achieve it with a single image would be to insert the image *TWICE* on the page. Then scale one pretty small. Take the full sized image and tuck it inside a Dynamic HTML drop-down. The net effect would be that the user would click to see the full sized image (revealing the DHTML drop-down) and the smaller version would be "pushed" farther down the page.
Cheers... Rick

How to achieve the same effect seen in attached screenshot

I dig the artist's style in image on very right of attached image -
MINE ON LEFT W/RED ARROWS.
Question, as I have my character open in PS6.0
and still in PSD format as I am coloring him, what would be the simplest
steps to take to add that shading like black under his eye (in right side image)?
Or that stippled shaded effect along his nose?
See areas under my character's eye and nose I want to experiment on . . .
THANK YOU!

How phenomenal it is to go to this forum and have this type of invaluable feedback from each and every one of you.
I certainly appreciate this! tfkelly42 you did some great touch-ups on my sample mate! I do like this, like having you all over my shoulder saying, "click this, then that tool...." THANKS! And, I use PS6, so my version is NEWER than his....so I think I ought to achieve the same effect! BTW, here is a screenshot of my tool bar with BRUSH highlighted....but before venturing into a test....should I highlight the area in any way....prior to trying the brush tool and the rest? I'll post a sample back here (probably on Tuesday...it's gettng late here) BUT THANKS!

How to achieve this special effect

I want a shot where some one picks a dead rose off a rose bush, but after they pick it and while they are holding it, the rose comes to life and is in full bloom again.
How can I achieve this shot? I have tried shooting someone picking a dead rose, then shooting a 2nd shot of them picking a live rose and morphed the 2 shots together. I just did this real quick to see if it would work and did not put much time into it, but it looks promising if I actually spent some time on morphing it correctly.
However, just want to ask on here and get other ideas, if any.
Also, the rose is being picked in the winter time, and its summer here. So I was going to use photographs and build a 3D world out of 2D planes of a winter scene. Then add a photo of a rose bush. Is there any techniques that I can make the rose looks like it is part of the rose bush seamlessly?
Thanks
Andrew

Andrew,
In cinematic terms, you're not working with 2 shots here, but at least 3.
The medium or wide establishing scene 1 is Picking the dead rose. (you might want to use a cutaway close up of the rose to establish it's "deadness".
The second should probably be a close up of the rose TRANSFORMATION.
The final shot is back to a medium or wide shot of the character interacting with the live rose - perhaps inhaling it's fragerence - again, selling the "liveness" of the transformed rose.
Your SFX (special effect) scene is scene 2.
The easiest way to sell the transition is to use a pretty tight close up of the rose itself (easier) or the hand and the dead rose (more difficult)
Then have the actor holding the rose hold as steady as possible while someone substitutes the live rose in as close to the same position as possible.
The trick then, is to both position and transition from one shot to the next.
In FCP, you'd stack the two ROSE CU shots directly over each other on two tracks. Then use a series of garbage mattes on the lower track to CROP away everything but that which you want to change. Perhaps including as much of the stem as you need to sell the effect if you want to try to use the whole rose plus stem. Using rotation and frame positioning, you'd want to match the live rose and the dead rose as closely as possible in terms of position and angle.
Then you could use a cross fade, or some fancy dissolve (perhaps a dither dissolve?) to replace the dead rose with the live one.
The transition can be relatively short if you have the final scene ready to complete the idea that the rose is reborn in the hand of the character.
That's how I'd approach it. One of many ways to do this kind of thing.
Good luck.

How to achieve rotating background effect?

I am interested in creating a rotating background like the
one found at
Dispatch . I know how to
set the rotation angle, but i have no idea how to make it rotate
where you can see it moving. I also know how to make something
slide in a line, but i dont know how to make it rotate.
Thanks in advance for your help.

There is no one tool or method that will render that type of background. It is a stack of layers containing the various shapes and stylized strokes you see. Their interacions are enhanced by their varied colours, edge hardness, layer blend modes, and layer opacity. Once you realize that it's a series of separate and very simple objects, layering up something like this isn't really that difficult, though it might take some artistic vision, taste and experimentation to produce a result that looks pleasing, and not just random or disparate.
If it's within your budget to purchase some pre-made art of this type, Digital Juice makes some every interesting layered images that you can customize for yourself by manipulating layers. Just having a look at their site can give you some ideas as to how art like this is produced.

Does anyone know how the cutout filter works and is there a way of achieving the same effect without using filters to get more control over final look?

does anyone know how the cutout filter works and is there a way of achieving the same effect without using filters to get more control over final look?

Several ways to get similar results. Image > Adjustments > Posturize with low values similar to what you'd use n Cutout. This is the most flexible way I can think of as you keep the image in RGB mode with layers intact. A more radical approach would be to reduce bit depth using Indexed Colour. You'll need to experiment with settings, try changing Forced to Primaries, and Matte to Foreground Color. There's no going back from this route, although you can change the mode back to RGB to re-enable layers, adjustment layers etc.
A nice thing about the Filter gallery filters is that you can change the layer to a Smart object with all the control that gives you.
Now if only this forum could filter out bizarre content.

How to achieve this specific drop shadow effect?

Dear all,
Does anybody know how to achieve this specific drop shadow effect in InDesign: a step by step instruction, a plugin, etc?
Regards,

Kasyan,
I generally just use the basic feather. I draw the object with a few clicks of the pen, fill with whatever color, set the tint if desired, then use settings more or less as below.

How to achieve this Effect?

Hey everyone i was wondering if you guys had any idea how to achieve this effect in flash.....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QftcJtvLr8g

While you could probably do this in Flash, it is much more simply done using AfterEffects. There's a splendid text tool that can be tortured into effects like this. Have a look at the podcasts from Creative Cow on AfterEffects for some interesting examples.

May you link a tutorial ? And Please Give me the Proper Name for this technique . You may watch on to get a jist of what i want to achieve thank you if all is successful i will purchase this product .

That's just layers. The blurred background is just a footage layer with blur applied....
More than basic stuff here... Please go through these getting started materials and watch this video series to get started with how AE works.

Particle effect -how to achieve this kind of effect exactly

Hello please help me to achieve this type of flickering particle effect. how to achieve this in After effect which is shown at 0.8 sec to 0.11 in the attached link video. http://www.istockphoto.com/stock-video-2682258-hearts.php

I can't give you the exact settings but you could use Trapcode Particular with a custom particle or CC Particle world. Just turn gravity to 0 and set up a custom particle.
Your particle layer will be behind the spinning hearts layer. This should get you going in the right direction.

Someone please tell me how can i create this effect on motion 3?

Use the bezier tool to create your shapes, give the shapes an Airbrush outline. Then apply a Write On behavior to each shape. Position the shapes in the timeline so they appear sequentially. To achieve the zooming out effect, you can either scale the whole group, or convert the group to 3D and use the camera to zoom out.

Hi!
I have a series of QuickTime files that I am trying to
present in a nice
interface. I know how I can create this effect in Flash- but
given the
number of .movs I have, I am thinking of sticking to QT. The
example I have
in mind is
http://www.apple.com/aperture/quicktours/
I went through the source code and tried to replicate it by
changing some of
the values but it does not seem to work. I thought about
using frames to
ease complication but I find frames cumbersome. I am open to
suggestions but
would prefer to keep the video clips in QT versus converting
to FLV.
Thank you.
Kelvin

Hi(Bonjour)!
Welcome to the forum.
It will be difficult to compose this effect in FCE without commercial plugins like Nattress's Big Box of Tricks (G Glow dissolve).
But you can try this: create a colorized transparent document (yellow and red around the frame) in Photoshop. Save in PNG. Import into FCE.
Put it on V2, over the edit point for your video clips in V1.
Try to keyframe opacity values, animate the position with erratic displacements and add some twirling or distord effects (that can be keyframed too).
With some patience, I'm sure that you can achieve a such effect.

Does anyone know how to achieve this in Photoshop? Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Hello,
I'm relatively new to Photoshop so if you know how to do this, please explain by telling me where I click. E.g. File>Open
Does anyone know how I would achieve this exact effect in Photoshop in the image above (without the circular logo)? The 2 light blue type of effects, one at the top of the image, the one at the bottom of the image. I don't know how to achieve this effect, please show me if you know how. I'm using Photoshop CS5.
I have looked through hundreds of tutorials, none provide me any clue as to how this is achieved.
Or does anyone know a tutorial on how this effect is achieved?
Thank you for your help.

Yes, it would have been faster and more constructive to point out exactly where to find information rather than scold you.
Check out the Option bar that one gets under the Menu bar. If it is not showing, go to windows>Options.
More info: http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/tools.html#using_the_options_bar
If you select the brush tool, you will notice a flow value, that you can lower; and a Mode drop down list.
paint tool options: http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/painting-tools.html#paint_tool_options
Set the mode to Linear Dodge, then for the next stroke set it to lighten.

WHAT iS THIS EFFECT CALLED? OR HOW CAN I GET THIS EFFECT?

WHAT'S THIS EFFECT CALLED? OR HOW CAN I GET THIS EFFECT?
first of all i don't know what's this kind of photo effect called, i just describe it as bright, clean and w/o lack of contrasts
secondly, i wanna learn how to achieve this effect.....really don't know how
need help here....
btw i don't know where to post this post....so i just start from here =)\

For my part you are welcome, Lisa.
then what about the color tone here? it's very pure and clean, a touch of blue i think, is it from the nature light or from photoshop effect?
The colour tone is (hopefully) a result of the nature of the natural light faithfully reproduced by the high quality of the camera (and film if relevant).
You will get quite different and sometimes rapidly changing tones of colour depending on the natural light; this is different for different times of day, different directions, different weather conditions.
Just to mention a few comparisons, the warm light from the setting sun is quite different from the cool light from the clear bright sky through a (high) window to the north at noon, and the light of the sun can be changed immensely by the huge white (or grey) filter sometimes applied to (parts of) the sky.
You may do many things in Photoshop, but photography is still an art form, not just cheating, at least for some.
I believe one of the real provings of cameras/films is the ability to reproduce the delicate but profoundly different tinges in snow on a clear day.
