Adjusting the Color

Now we'll change the colors to match those produced by lomo cameras. We won't be using any color adjustment tools. Instead, we'll be modifying individual channels.

Step 3

Inside the Channels pallet (Window> Channels), select the red channel.

Step 4

With the red channel selected, use the Brightness/Contrast tool (Image> Adjustments> Brightness/Contrast) and increase the contrast. The higher you set the contrast, the stronger the color effect will be. I found that increasing the contrast by 50 produced the most realistic results.

Step 5

Now select the green channel and use the Brightness/Contrast tool (Image> Adjustments> Brightness/Contrast) to increase the contrast by the same amount you did in the previous step.

Step 6

Select back the RGB channel (Ctrl+~) to view the final results.
