Yay, my second tutorial! Yes, I’m going to keep counting how many I have. My last tutorial did much better than I expected. I kept imagining people laughing manically at it while vowing never to come to this website again. But much to my surprise, I actually got a lot of traffic and helped two people!

I absolutely love the LOMO/ cross-processed look. Once you’re done making your lovely fake LOMO picture you can join in with other fakers on Flickr by joining the LOMO Fakers League group. I would make a dirty joke on faking it, but I’ll refrain this time. ;P

Carly Said in March 5th, 2008 @4:26 pm

Hey! I love this tutorial (along with all your other ones). Unfortunately I have an older version of Photoshop so I don’t have the Lens Correction option. Do you think there are other ways of creating this effect?

Kelly Anne Williams Said in March 5th, 2008 @7:45 pm

Hey there Carly! Thank you so much for your comment! You absolutely can go another way on creating the vignette, which I am assuming you cannot do in your version of Photoshop. Here’s how you can make another vignette:

If you have the Lasso tool you can make a freehand selection, and don’t worry it doesn’t have to be perfect. Make the selection inside the edges of the photograph, and after you are done making it you’ll need to change the feather so the vignette fades out. On the Lasso tool bar you can change the feather, so change that to Feather 80 px or whatever looks best for your photograph. Then invert your selection, Select> Inverse. Then to make the vignette go to Image> Adjustment> Levels, when you get to the Levels dialog box move the middle gray slider a little to the right and that will darken your edges to get the vignette, again experiment for what you think looks good with your photo. It shouldn’t fade all the way to black.

Hope that helps! Let me know if you have any more questions! Thanks again!

this is a wonderful tutorial but unfortunately i am working in PSE 6.0 so it is almost impossible for me to figure out how to do this as a lot of the options are not the same. is it possible to create such an effect in photoshop elements? i would love to know how if it’s possible!
