4. Click in the upper right hand corner of the rectangle. Hold your shift key down and click just below the film's lower right hand corner. Release the shift key and click in the upper left hand corner of the film. Hold the shift key down and click below the film just below the lower left hand corner.
Sometimes you want to go for a more subtle effect on your images, and one of my favorite things to do in this situation is to apply a slight film grain.
So, would you like to cheat a little bit? In this tutorial I will show you how to make a realistic film strip in Photoshop like on the photo.
Open any photo that you want to make look like a scanned film photo. Of course, it has to be an image from a digital camera and not a photo that was scanned in.
There are many B&W; conversion tutorial out there, but this one takes some less traveled paths and the results are worth it. We will create a black and white portrait that has the old-fashioned look of film photography. We???re using this photograph of Mr. Pieter Coetzee which I took in 2005 on a tall ship (Sea Cloud) in the Mediterranean Sea. The picture is copyright protected, but for the purpose of this tutorial you are allowed to download the original and follow along.
I always wanted to create a realistic film and I never got it right until now. You explain it so well that I keep saying to myself �why I didn't think of that before� hehehe
Learn how to use Photoshop to simulate natural film grain on digital photographs. This beginner Photoshop tutorial will show you how to add natural looking noise using a non-destructive process. If you use Photoshop CS3, you will also learn how to add this effect using Smart Filters.

Have you ever taken a digital photograph like the one below only to discover it doesn't look the same as what your eye saw. Well, the colors are there and this tutorial will show you how to unlock them and make the picture appear is was taken with Fuji's 4th Color Layer Technology film on a 35mm camera when printed.
NO - DEFINITELY MAY NOT! I don't mind, of course, any form of back link to Digital Photo News tutorials section, but taking any one of the tutorials whole and supplanting it on your website is theft. If you really like the tutorials and want to advertise them, why not just hyperlink directly to their URL? Is it possible to submit some of my own tutorials?
The result shows that colors have become more saturated and display more contrast. They have also shifted in certain directions (e.g. magenta). The Filter/Artistic/Film Grain effect gives a film-like graininess to the picture, and thus enhances the feeling of traditional photography. We have not used this effect in the tip, though.
Modern digital cameras are perfectly capably of matching the 35 mm film - the format which most landscape photographers begin with. But can they really match the large format film cameras? This is probably the greatest question that all photographers face.
Photography remains just that when you convert to digital cameras: you still have to know how to compose and shoot pictures to get the best results. The way you see your subject, and visualize the resulting image doesn't change in any basic way. However, digital photography technique has some of its own challenges and rewards, and there are exciting new techniques and technologies to understand and to master! These are 10 of the things you will need to look out for: 1. Bigger isn't always better: having more pixels doesn't always translate into better images, as the size and quality of the pixels are also important. 6 million pixels of a bigger size can actually give you a clearer image than 8 million of a smaller size. 2. Optical zoom is more important for your image quality than digital zoom. Optical zoom delivers more detail to your camera sensor, whereas digital zoom is more of a cropping function applied to existing data (detail) captured by the sensor. 3. Digital photography technique relies on sensors which are often less discerning than film where it comes to rendering detail in shadows and highlights. You should therefore be careful not to "blow" your highlights: if they're not captured to start with you can't adjust them afterwards in your software processing! 4. While there is a general acceptance of the grain sometimes visible in film prints, the human eye is particularly good at seeing regular patterns, such as row-and-column "noise" in some digital prints. When you purchase your digital camera, it is a good idea to check the reviews regarding noise levels for particular models! 5. What about black and white shots? Digital cameras take pictures in color, therefore the most basic element of the digital darkroom (eg Photoshop) you will need to master is how and when to turn your digital color images into exactly the black and white image you want. 6. Digital photography technique gives you the freedom to choose on a per-shot basis many settings you were locked into or restricted to, when using film, such as film speed and white balancing. 7. When purchasing a digital camera you will have the option of models which produce only JPEG files (which are processed on board by your camera), or some which give the option of RAW files, which are unprocessed. The assumption is that RAW files can then be processed on your computer with more powerful software to achieve the desired results. RAW converters are improved all the time. Over time you will...
Consumers have been pretty receptive to the lower priced "point and shoot" models (some 5 million digital cameras were sold in the U.S. during the Christmas 2005 holiday season), but there are still some holdouts. Great strides have been made in digital technology over the past few years, but more sophisticated digital cameras have only recently come down in price enough to attract the "serious amateur" market. In the past, the price of high-end digital camera equipment was more suited to the professional who could turn that investment into an income source. Even traditional film buffs are slowly coming around to the benefits of digital photography. Among the holdouts, the chief problem seems to be confusion. There are so many choices, with a broad range of options, and just as many price ranges. It's cheaper not to make a decision, than to make a mistake. They get lost in the terminology, and have reservations about the quality of digital photos and about the reliability of the digital cameras. With the whirlwind of innovation flooding our lives everyday, it's become really difficult to keep up. Technology advances, prices come down, and a deal today may be obsolete tomorrow. At least that's what worries many potential digital camera owners. So let's look at five of the most common questions about digital camera photography to shed some light on the matter, for those who are hesitant about this new technology, or who have dismissed it as a mere fad. 1. Do digital cameras produce quality photos? Digital photos can be displayed at very high resolutions, and could easily surpass conventional photographs, but many have seen poorer quality images. Early color printers could be used to print color photos from digital cameras, but the quality just wasn't there. Blurry images on low-grade computer monitors or on the small LCD screens of the cameras themselves, do nothing to increase your confidence. But view the high resolution images available from today's digital cameras on a capable monitor or after being printed on one of the newer photo quality printers (using photo quality paper) and you'll see the crystal clear quality of what is available today. 2. How durable are digital camera photos? Digital camera photos are not stored on film. They're stored on electronic memory devices that actually require much less care than negative film. As long as reasonable care is taken of the particular storage device, there shouldn't be any problems with protecting images c...
Are you still using a film base camera? if you are than this article is for you. You probably know by now that you are becoming a minority as more and more people switch to digital cameras. This article lists some reasons why you should also consider making that switch. Digital cameras are not just a hyped buzz word. They have real advantages over film cameras. In the beginning of the digital era many claimed that digital cameras are inferior in quality to film cameras. One of the main arguments was that printing enlargement from digital photos results in poor quality. While this was true back then new digital cameras with modern sensors and a large number of mega pixels provide superior quality even when printing enlargements. Just having the same or better photo quality is not a good enough reason to switch. Using digital cameras and digital photos and switching to digital media has many advantages, here are just a few: Photo cost: digital cameras take digital photos that are stored on digital media. For all practical purposes the marginal cost of taking digital photos is zero. You can view, manipulate and discard such digital photos without spending a dime. If you were using film you would have to spend money on developing the film roll in order to view your photos. Developing prints would cost more. Photo capacity: digital cameras store digital photos on digital media. With modern memory chipsets the storage available on such media is practically infinite. You can hold thousands and more photos on each media card and since these cards are so small you can easily carry extra cards with you. With infinite photo capacity you can take many photos without thinking of the problem of running out of space. With old film cameras each roll would typically hold 36 photos. Film rolls were relatively big and you could only carry so many rolls with you. The result was thinking twice before taking a photo and in many cases missing great photo opportunities. Immediate feedback: a great feature of digital cameras is the ability to immediately view the photos taken. Such immediate feedback allows better photos since you can check the composition and the quality of the photo and immediately take more photos to correct what you found was wrong. With old film cameras you had to wait until the film was developed in order to review the photos. Obviously at that time it was not possible to shoot the photo again to correct any problems in the photo. Photo manipulation: digital...
