Special Photo-Effects

This 28 page tutorial thoroughly examines the simulation of two "analog" photo - effects : Hi-Contrast Kodalith Posterization and Cross-Processing Effects with numerous variations.

original
revised

We will look in detail at a posterization effect that closely mimics what you used to achieve with Kodalith hi-con film (unlike the posterize filter) and a "cross-processing" technique that allows you to create that "happy accident" kind of photo-chemistry effect. Along the way we cover:

Simulating Film Grain
Threshold Adjustment
Solid Color Adjustment Layers
Difference Apply Mode
Overlay Mode for Contrast & Saturation
"Sketch" Texture Layer from Blurred Noise

The original shots above are used as a starting point for a number of different special effects that can be applied by themselves or in combinations as the "revised" examples show.
