Transparent Film effect ?

Hello Forum,
I need to create a transparent screen protector kind of effect in Photoshop. Pls check the attachment for the effect. I will be greatful if anybody can suggest any tutorials or photoshop filters which can achieve this or a similar kind of effect. I am using Photoshop CS3.
Thnx in advance

easy to do using only layer styles: Fill Opacity 0-5%, 1px white stroke at about 50% opacity and a gradient overlay going from transparent to white to transparent a couple of times to create the highlights.

  • What is the best hp laserjet printer monochrome for transparent film ?

    Hello.
    I want to know what is the best laserjet printer monochrome for transparent film ?
    Can you recommend a printer ? I want to print negative or positive films at high opacity
    I wait your recommendation.
    Thank you

    high price:HP LaserJet Enterprise 500 color MFP M575dn  This is the top of the line for consumer laser printing.  It's technically an enterprise (fancy word for commercial) printer, and there for has a commercial warranty attached to it, which is a very good thing.  This also has dual trays with automatic tray switching depending on the media type.  That means you can keep the transparencies in one tray, and plain paper for everyday printing in the other without having to switch between the two manually.  This printer also supports 1200 x 1200 dpi (dots per inch) which will give the transparencies a clear crisp look.
    average price:HP LaserJet Pro 400 color MFP M475dn  This is about the middle of the road laser printer.  It's still technically an enterprise printer, so you get the enterprise level warranty, and you still get the dual trays with auto-switching.  The main differences are in the price, and in the quality of prints.  This printer is much cheaper, but the maximum dpi is 600 x 600 so the images that print are not quite as good as with the M575dn.
    low price: HP LaserJet Pro 100 color MFP M175nw  This is not the bottom of the line by any means, but it's not as fast at printing as the two above.  You still get 600 x 600 dpi, but you loose the extra tray.  You also loose the enterprise level warranty, but you do still get a 1 year consumer level warranty.  It's not as flashy as the two above, but it will do the job.

  • Film effect plug-ins

    I have Final Cut Pro. Do I need another program like "after effects" to support, (for instance) Red Giant Software "Magic Bullet"? What in your opinion is the best film effect? Thanks, Mike

    www.nattress.com FILM EFFECTS
    Cheaper than Magic Bullet, with similiar results. With MB, you'll have to buy the expensive version (MB Editors only does color correction) while the Nattress filters cost $100 and do the film look AND color correction options.
    I use both. They both are good.

  • Hu is the name of plugin to make the film effect

    hu is the name of plugin to make the film effect.
    can halp me,thanks!

    What film effect? Grain? Grading? Film damage? There's a whole lot of them. There are plugins contained in suites such as The Foundry Tinderbox, Digieffects Delirium, Genarts Sapphire and surely even Boris and you can of course by more complex dedicated tools such as Cinelook and Magic Bullet Looks. Some grain management tools and color correction are included in AE. you can build a damaged film look manually as well. Check my old project:

  • Color correction followed by Film effects = bad vid?

    I have some shots at the beach, and the shots look pretty good after I do the color correction. I want to add the film effect, so composite clips using Screen & Soft light modes, and use the gaussian blur. It results in something that I totally dont want, and it looks all washed out. Color correction and the film effects work pretty good individually, but together they are just not working for me. Can someone please tell me how can I preserve the color correction, and that filmic glow at the same time.
    Thanks a lot

    You can move the filters around in a different order. Moving them in a particular order will change how the filters interacted with each other.
    For example: You might want to do a lighting effect first followed by a blur. In this order you blurring the lighting effect. If you do the blur first and light effect next. You lighting the blur. (OR) You may want to do the color correction last for an over all color effect on the video and how it looks. If you do a color correction first the filter to follow with change how the color correction looks.
    Play around with the order and try to get the effect you want.

  • Printing on transparency film

    I use HP. Officejet J4680 w/ Windows XP. I'd appreciate knowing about how to use (print on) dedicated inkjet transparency film...Do's & don'ts. I've just tried it with mixed results. No directions on packaging.  Info from searches-wildly varied.  Best kind/brand? Can be copied on either/both sides?  Special ink?  Usually how long for ink to dry? Does the ink eventually become "permanent"?  Is there always a chance it can smear?  Is there a need to apply a clear spray over the printed surface?  If so, is there a dedicated product? Can other clear sprays (lacquer, urethane, e.g.) be used?  Special care needed for use/storage?  Will it change color (yellow)? What else do I need to know?  Sorry, H.P.  Tech help, no help. Thanks.

  • Nattress Film Effects (lots of nerdy detail)

    Hello all.
    Firstly, I use Final Cut Express 3.5, and not FCP. HOWEVER, I've read many times that the FCP forum is a much better place to post questions about Nattress Film Effects, due to the fact that there are MANY more users here. So, here goes:
    I edited a music video last year using Film Effects in FCE 3.5. It came out great, considering the (admittedly lowly) level of miniDV cams we used. Film Effects made a HUGE difference. Awesome. Best $99 a fellow ever spent, and I mean it (we even got onto TV).
    BUT... During the process, I encountered a major problem, and I'm quite sure that my work flow was the culprit. I basically had the entire thing cut and sequenced just the way I wanted, then dragged the Nattress effects where I needed them (to clips in various sequences, using different filters and so forth). With nearly EVERY cut, the filter "turned off" a frame before the cut, giving it an unbearably "sloppy" appearance.
    i.e. I shot of a man singing on the street. CUT TO: Woman in Bedroom, reading love letters. I make that cut with no prior adjustments to the image. THEN I add a "G Film Basic Cool" to the man, and a "G Film Basic Warm" to the girl. Presto. Sloppy, sloppy cut between the two. The last frame of the dude and the first frame of the girl: both without the effect, causing a bad cut. With synced vocals, I can't "cheat" by tossing just those frames.
    The workaround, I found, was to extend the clip either above or below the adjoining one (so that it overlapped), add the filter, and THEN cut. VERY tedious, considering how many seperate cuts were in the vid. Although, it would still be tedious to render overly-long clips and then widdle them down (especially since the point of a NLE application is to be flexible).
    Am I totally missing the point of what the workflow really ought to be? Becasue what Film Effects actually DID to the footage (far from the cut) was truly great. I must be missing something.
    Sorry for the overly long email. I'm trying to do my homework ahead of time on this one!
    Thanks,
    Chris H.

    The good news is that the answer is simple. It's all to do with the order you apply plugins. Because FilmEffects plays with time to get the 24p effect, it needs to know about frames both before and after the current one. That means it needs to know about the frame beyond the end of your clip, for instance. Now, filters generally apply to just the in through out points, and don't apply to the frames beyond, so if you do a colour correction filter, then add the 24p from Film Effects, the last frame can be made up from a frame that doesn't have the colour correction applied!
    The simple solution is to ensure than any filter that alters time, like the 24p from Film Effects comes first in the stack. If it's not first, a simple re-arrangement of order can fix the issue.
    Not only does this ensure things work right, but you'll get faster rendering too!

  • Aged Film effect turns my clip pink or blanks it out completely

    When I preview the "aged film" effect on my clip, it looks fine, but when I applied it, it shaded the clip pink. I hit "undo," but when I tried it again later, and I applied it, it turned my clip into a blank white screen. Why is it doing this? How do I fix it?

  • From "Video" to "Film" effects plugin ...

    Hi,
    Does anyone know/have any plugins that can give video that really "film" type effect? I've tried doing it using Color Correction & 3 Way but someone told me there may be plugins for it?
    Or any other plugins you may think would come in handy? Is it worth investing in Magic Bullet?
    Ali.

    Is it worth investing in Magic Bullet?< </div>
    If you can make it pay for itself, sure.
    The film look from video is a terribly overworked cliché. It works when appropriate but so many of us slap it on in hopes of somehow improving bad video or satisfying some director's pedestrian concept.
    A filmish end result starts in preproduction. Choose your lighting, shutter speeds, codecs, lenses, and sound systems to achieve a satisfying style. Scewing around in post is dreadfully inefficient the firs few times mostly because "film look" is totally subjective.

  • Transparency and effects not working

    I am kind of new to Indesign, but no matter what tutorial I follow, I can't get transparency (or any effect) to work. Is there some fundamental thing I could be missing? For example, I tried to have both a text frame and a graphics frame be semi-transparent. I selected them (separately), and changed the object and fill % in the Effects panel to something low. Nothing happened. I have not been able to apply drop shadows or any other effects either. All the tutorials make it seem like it should be so easy, so I am confused. I have InDesign CS5, version 7.0.4, which I updated to right before I posted this question.

    I'm sorry, right after I posted this I discovered there was a display setting in preferences that turns transparency on my screen off. Oops. Leaving this up in case someone else does the same thing.

  • Silent film effects questions

    Hi,
    I'm shooting a film in which I'm trying to replicate the look of a silent film and have a few questions someone can hopefully help me with. (I'm using FCP 4.0)
    1. I'm trying to do an iris to transition between scenes, i.e. the screen will go black and the picture will diminish into a smaller and smaller circle, eventually leaving nothing but black. FCP 4 has an 'iris' transition, but it seemingly works in the opposite manner; a small circle of the next scene in the timeline (in this case an empty black frame) will start out small in the image and increase to cover the entire screen. How can I fix this to achieve the effect I'm going for?
    2. This one may seem stupid and there must be a very obvious answer, but I can't figure out how to go about it. I'm trying to make a silent film title card and have no idea how to make the border that's usually around them without it just looking like cheap straight lines. Any ideas?
    3. This isn't really related, but I shot using a wide angle lens and the lens is visible at the edges of the frame in all of my footage. I've been blowing the image up to about 106-108% (sometimes adjusting the center of the image) under the Motion tab in order to basically zoom past the edges of the lens in the image. Is there a better way to go about this, or is this really all I can do?
    Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

    1. After you apply the iris transition...dbl-click it to bring it into the viewer. You'll see a very tiny arrow towards the top right of the transition interface...click on it...it will reverse itself.
    2. You could create something in photoshop, or search your computer for 'matte' or 'mask'...see what's available. I know Digital Juice has gobs of them and you may have additional software installed that has something you could use.
    3. You might try vignetting the entire video...again, you may find a matte or mask somewhere on your computer, or you could create one using the 'Shapes/Circle (or Oval)', from the pulldown at bottom right of your viewer (has a film frame with an 'A' in it). Once you've tweaked it, just save it out as a .tif and import for use as a mask/matte. There are a variety of ways to incorporate it, including composite modes.

  • Nattress Film Effect Question

    Dear all,
    I really like the effects in http://nattress.com/Products/filmeffects/FilmEffectsImages/largeHDVFilmEffectsIm ages.htm
    What are the presets or settings to achieve that effect?
    Is there a more detailed documentation on each of the filters along with examples? I recently purchased the plugin, but besides from a few easy-to-understand presets, I am quite lost.
    Thank you,

    G RGB Mixer was used for the colours and gamma adjustments, and G Vignette was used to blend the edges off to black.
