It’s been used in the films Saving Private Ryan, Minority Report, and others. Bleach Bypass is actually an effect you can achieve on film when you skip bleaching while processing color film, leaving the silver retained on the negative. In the end, what you get is an image with high contrast, graininess, and reduced saturation. If you would like the grainy feel in your image, visit my Realistic Film Grain tutorial!

This is great. I’m amazed with the edit and at the same time I’m also amazed with the technique you have done on the photo that when you point your cursor to it, it change. How do you do that?
