How to make a lomo vignette in photoshop... one way to do it

images can be found at www.soffia.net/tutorialll.html

 

First of all, open a photo you want to add a lomo vignette to

 

1. Go to Layers - new fill layer - gradient...

 

2. Name it lomo - click OK

 

3. you get a window up there:

Style: Radial

Reverse and Align with layer should be checked.

 

3. Gradient: (image 01) As seen in image 02, choose forground to transparent. Left color

 

stop should be black and white in right color stop. Left Opacity stop is 80% and right

 

is 0% ( image 02)

 

4. Change the layer to overlay (image 03)

 

 

You got a lomo effect, you can play with the numbers as you like, and somethimes I erase

 

part of the lomo layer if it´s too dark at places I want to be light. Like in this

 

photo, I want the lower right corner to be light, cause I like the marks in the sand.

 

*TIP* I use a soft brush and often with 60 - 80 % tranparent to erase parts of the lomo

 

effect.

 

 

(Another way is to go to Filter - distort - lens correction. There you can tweek the vignette settings)
