New Action Effect: Lomo 3
Anew effect for Photoshop and Photoshop Elements users – another Lomo derivative effect. This action will adjust curves for the RGB, green & blue channels to increase contrast and really make your architecture and portrait photos pop.
A few samples are here; feel free to leave a comment and add a link to any images you create with this action.
To the left is a street scene in Washington DC, snapped last summer. The added contrast really makes the brick pop and the shadows darker. Converting this image to black and white (using one of the methods found in Portrait Lab) will result in a very nice print!
To the right is a shot from inside the National Portrait Gallery. It works very well on interior shots, too. Tweaking the Gradient Map Adjustment Layer that the action creates allows you to increase the black and white effect, or you can substitute a different gradient for some colorizing effects, too.
