Warm 60's photography effect

[mookie]

Hey guys!
I'm a high school student doing my final folio, and I just can't figure out how to achieve this kind of retro 60's look in my photography using photoshop. So I've turned to you guys for some help! Thanks in advanced for anyone who's willing to help!



Don't be afraid to go easy on the photoshop stuff, I'm pretty capable.

Personally, I would try doing any (or all) of the following. - experiment freely -
1) Slight blur overlay to remove details (as cameras may not have been as good in the 60s)

2)Contrast (depending on picture location more or less would work) - I would say outside daytime pictures would have less contrast leaning towards the brighter spectrum, but maybe inside ones would have more? I dunno -

3) A color shift towards yellow (color balance should work fine)

My Attempt:

Not really impressed. Look forward to seeing if somebody comes up with some good results.

Technique:
-Duplicate background
-Perform Sumi-E filter on duplicated copy - minor gaussian blur - reduce opacity to ~60%
-Add Hue/Sat Adjustment Layer
-Adjust all channels until i get a yellowish cast to bright colors (primarily the red channel in this image)
-Add a solid baby-poop yellow adjustment layer, set it's mode to color, and its opacity to ~10% (just enough to start giving everything else a yellow cast
- Add a solid white color adjustment layer, set it's mode to soft light, and reduce opacity to ~25%

I think it terms of effect you got it down pretty nicely. I could tinker with it, but chances are it wont be noticeably better or worse than yours.

Personally, the thing that tells me it is not from the 60s is the fact that I can't stop seeing that printer and TV in the background (which just scream 21st century).

I think it looks good though.

Good job. nice wrist bands and tv set for 60s. Very modern. hmmm :):)

Jokes apart... you need some color noise.

Yeah, i just pulled a random picture out of one of my folders to work on, so effect was all i was working on.

I'll try some color noise in there CD and see what i can come up with.
