Photoshop :: How To Get That Vintage Yellow Cast Look?
Apr 12, 2009
Does anyone know how to get this old vintage look? It seems the saturation is down and there is a bit of yellow added to the image maybe? I'm not quite sure, but I really like it. Any thoughts?
I seem to have done something to my version of Photoshop 6 (on XP). When I print directly from Photoshop, all prints have a strong yellow cast. If I print the same file from another program (such as Illustrator, etc.), it prints fine (so it's not a monitor calibration issue). Color mode is RGB, all the color settings are normal (Adobe RGB 1998).
I recently replaced my HP printer with a Canon MP810, and I still have the same problem with the new printer!
I've seen this question posted several times on the Web over the years (for Photoshop 6 or 7), but never an answer.
PS CS4. Everything seemed to go fine, but now all of a sudden his images are displayed with a strong yellow tint. I don't mean a slight color cast, I mean a STRONG yellow tint. The images appear the same in Photoshop, the Bridge, and even ACR. I re-calibrated the monitor (Gretag McBeth) and generated a new profile just be sure, but that wasn't it. The same images viewed in other applications (Picassa, opened in a browser, etc.) on the same computer display normally. This appears to be only Photoshop related. What's also interesting is that CS3 now exhibits the same problem after the CS4 install. I reviewed all the color settings and workflow, and nothing is out of the ordinary. The Nikon raw images were imported via ACR, and opened in Photoshop with ACR workflow options set for 16 bit/Adobe RGB. Photoshop working space is Adobe RGB. I also installed the 11.0.1 update. But here are what may be a couple of clues. First, it's not just the image files that look bad. The colors are awful in the color picker in the toolbox. The entire color picker slider is almost all yellow and orange. And here's another good one. We tried importing some new raw images via the photo downloader in Bridge. With the downloader in Advanced mode, the image previews before download show the same yellow cast. But after I click the Get Photos button, the image colors appear correct as they flash on for a couple of seconds while being downloaded. This has got to be a big clue for someone. What's different about how the image is displayed during that two second preview during the actual download? The PC hardware is a 3.2Ghz Pentium 4 Dell tower (2G ram) running XP Pro w/SP3, with a nVidia GeForce 7800 graphics card, and the screen resolution is 1024x768. I'm thinking maybe a graphics card issue or corrupted system profiles, but I'm a Mac and he's a PC so my PC troubleshooting skills are limited.
The colors on the computer monitor do not match the colors of my printed photos. The pictures have a yellow color cast. I am printing using HP Photosmart 7520.
The fresh install of LR 5.2 renders all images - RAW and JPG - throughout the program with a very dark, green-yellow colorcast. The only place where images appear normal is in the Import dialog, while the thumbnail mode is active. Apart from that, every program module features this annoying reproduction. Here are some supporting screenshots (red rectangles are from me): Â Import screen - thumbnail view - OK: Â Import screen - preview - NOT OK:
Library view - NOT OK: Â Strangely enough, if I export the picture to JPEG - without any modifications - the image appears normal again:
 LR version: 5.2.1, 64b (tried the 32b version too, same error) OS: Windows 8, 64bit Camera: Canon 40d, imported images are RAW.
First time poster here. I have been trying hard to reproduce a vintage color effect, but I haven't received the results that I wanted. Any suggestions?
Here are some of the photos that I've been using as a reference and trying to reproduce the effect:
I've tried many different combinations of selective color black/black, adjusting the lower end red/blue in curves, and desaturations. I have come close but it's just not exactly the same. Any tips?
I was able to download a vintage action several years ago that would give the pictures a vintage look but the action seems to have fallen apart and has some missing pieces such as fibers etc. Anyone know if there are any new ones around ?
to create a more vintage look through photoshop. I am trying to create a look like WWII aircraft nose art, and old photos of celebrites like some early color photos of Marilyn Monroe.
Any t-shirt designers in the house? I'm trying to design a couple of graphics for t-shirts in Photoshop and want to give the artwork that old, vintage, washed look. Can someone share some of these tricks with me.
I have loads of vintage graphics but many of them have a dirty looking background...the white or cream colored background looks greyed or has a browned look. I would like to know if there is any way to remove this discoloration and get the background back to a normal color.
The picture below is an example of how the backgbround color has become discolored. How to get rid of that ugly background color? I have tried using the paint bucket but often that tends to also fill in areas you don't want to lose.
how to achieve this sort of look with a Canon DSLR and photoshop..There seems to be a lack of complete black and white in either of the photos. i see the discoloration and everything, i just need to know what i can do to achieve this sort of effect.
For a recent project of mine I need to recreate this effect I found on a vintage nike t-shirt. I love this style, not sure what exactly it is? Perhaps inspired by Ettore Sottsass and his "memphis" design movement.
I am creating colage images in Photoshop CS4. I sometimes use scanned vintage daguerreotypes or other small snapshots. They are often small sized at 3.5" x 4.5" or 4.25" x 5.5". My Epson 835 scanner can scan in at 300, 400, up to 800 dpi. If I intend to print these scans at 8x10, 11x14 or a larger size within the overall collage, should I scan in at the highest dpi allowed by my scanner? Does this make a real difference after 300 in resolution/clarity? Â Also, Does Photoshop CS4, in the enlarging process, as I bring the smaller image into my composite and stretch size it up with (T) tool, end up just making "junk pixels" using "Bicubic" or "Bicubic smoother" in the printing from flattened PSÂ file, even tho I scanned in at a high dpi? scan in at best dpi so that the image won't be pixelated, lose resolution as it is used larger inside the final composite collage.
After upgrading PS CS6 to 13.0.1, HDR Pro now renders terrible colors. The reds seem to be missing and there is a pea-green cast to everything. The screen capture from LR shows two 32-bit images made from HDR Pro the one on the left was created 9/19/2012 on the right was created 10/27/2012 after having upgraded CS6 and LR4. The color space in Photoshop is Prophoto
I'm trying to add a color cast to a grey, contoured button shape (defined by a vector mask), by overlaying it with an adjustment layer with a solid green fill and setting the blend mode to "multiply."  The shape layer has transparent pixels around the perimeter, so I would not expect a "multiply" operation to result in visible green there. But it does. That's no good. I need to export this image to a PNG with the transparency intact.  I can see that the green adjustment layer has a "Color Fill 1 Mask" channel, but copying the shape layer and pasting it into that mask channel doesn't seem to work. The display shows a very thin outline of the vector shape, but I can't appear to do anything with it.
I get great results with CS4, and Epson R2880 and calibrated monitor and paper profiles: prints just like the monitor only a little darker but I can handle that. "Upgrading" to CS6 with everything else unchanged and the prints have a muddy green cast. Currantly the "solution" is to manipulate in CS6 and print from CS4.
I have some photos I took at a car show. Unfortunately, the event was held in a garage under horrible lighting. It gave everything a yellow-orange cast. What is the best way to remove or shift the color cast to more natural light. I tried Channel Mixer to some good effect. I have attached a sample image. I realize it may be hard to recover anything, but I'm just interesting in the technique.
Note in the image, there is almost no blue. The Channel mixer allows "converting" some of the other light into blue. I'm I on the right track?
I have some photos that have an orange cast that I would like to remove. May also need to lighten them a little, unless removing the orange does that. Are there any tutorials that would tell how to do this? Or if it is easy enough, give some guidance here?
In PS CC, is it possible to render a 3D shadow + reflection, but have the object that is casting it invisible? So the end result is a shadow/reflection on it's own separate layer?
I have this image with an intense orange background.
I want to change the color of the background to a light green, or even white (depending on my boss' mood). But the background color leaves me with an undesirable orange color-cast on the old man.
this is only a very rough clipping, the final version will be well refined.
way to eliminate this color-cast, most noticable on his hair. How would you go about it?
