New Toy - Photoshop

After trying out the Lomo effect a few days ago, I decided to test it out on another photo again. This time I tried using various techniques from different tutorials and here's what I got.

Hmm... the castle looks like a Harry Potter scene now haha :P


Was helping 小花 to search for a color balance tutorial that I found interesting but forgot to bookmark the link, when I saw another interesting tutorial about colour isolation. (I'm so easily distracted hehe...)

I think it is pretty amazing how you can control which parts of the image you want coloured and which to be black and white :)


大変だ！！There are so many tutorials out there so I supposed I will be playing with Photoshop for a while more :P

Lomo Effect

Was at PageOne with 小花 on Friday just before our movie and we happened to see some photos taken by Lomography cameras. Some of the photos were fascinating and they aroused my interest. Out of curiosity, I checked the internet to find out more information about Lomography but stumbled upon tutorials that teach you how to reproduce a similar effect on digital images instead.

Of course I had to try it out to see the effect for myself and below are the results.

I'm rather pleased with the effect as the colours seem much more vibrant and it makes an ordinary photo stand out more. Which do you prefer?　;)
