Ever taken pictures using film? You may notice your film pictures have an unmatched look and feel to them. As we have moved on to more advanced digital photography, we have seem to have lost the charm of film. Fortunately, using tools such as image filters & overlay images, you can come pretty close to matching the result.
One of the simplest methods to add retro effects to images is with filters and colors. Some effects I tried to make my images appar as film was to increase the saturation. In this example, I increased the saturation from 0 to 40. Although increasing saturation can make images appear older, you will also want to consider adding other effects that will be shown later in the article.
Another technique involves experimenting with vintage color palettes, such as brighter tones or faded hues, to evoke an atmosphere reminiscent of classic film photography. On a basic photo editing application, you can typically expect to find basic photo filters. The tones I have displayed are available on Canva.
Using Fotor’s online AI photo editor, you can add a film grain effect to your images in a few easy steps. First you will want to head over to Fotor’s photo editor. Then you will want to open an image to the editor. Then navigate to the “Adjust” tab in the sidebar. Scroll down to the “Advanced Edits” section and select “Film Grain”. You can then adjust the settings to your liking. The intensity setting is how large and close together individual grains will appear, the roughness effect is how dark the grains will look.
If you wish to go beyond filters, colors, and film grain, you can add more film effects by using overlay images. You can add effects such as film leakage, film dust, and other effects.
Overlay images can often be found on stock image sites (such as Adobe Stock), or by searching online for them. Although you can find really great film overlay images online, you will often have to pay for top quality images.
A lot of images will not be transparent, such as this one I found on Adobe Stock. A simple trick I found is adjusting its transparency to 20~30%, then adjust the image brightness to 120~130%.
In conclusion, adding retro film effects to your images can bring a unique and nostalgic touch to your photography. By utilizing techniques such as filters, colors, film grain effects, and overlay images, you can recreate the vintage look and feel of classic film photography in your digital images. Experimenting with these methods can help you achieve a distinct aesthetic that sets your photos apart and evokes a sense of nostalgia. So, go ahead and explore these techniques to add a touch of retro charm to your images!
