Lith Print & Lomograph Tutorial

 This is the lith print tutorial picture. First I opened the picture in Photoshop, and then I duplicates the image's layer. Then I selected Image > Adjustments > Hue/Saturation and ticked the colorize box. I set the hue slider to 40 and saturation to 30 and hit okay to apply the lith tone. Next, I duplicated the top layer and went to FIlter > Noise > Add Noise and selected the uniform box and ticked the monochromatic box. I set the amount slider to 30% and hit okay. Then I reduced the layer's opacity to 30% to soften the texture. I applied the gaussian blur filter, radius 1.5, to soften even more. Finally, I created a new layer and selected Edit > FIll > Black. I drew an oval over the picture with the Elliptical Marquee, hit shift+cmd/ctrl+l to invert. I applied a layer mask, set layer blending to soft light and removed the inner edge with a soft brush to create a vignette.
This is the lomograph tutorial picture. First I opened the picture in Photoshop and created a copy of the background. I went to FIlter > Blur > Radial Blur, entered 15 in the amount, set method to zoom, and quality to best. I applied a layer mask and used a large soft brush to remove blur from the center. Next, I created a new layer and used a black, soft brush to paint a vignette. I lowered the opacity to 50%. I went to Layer > New Adjustment Layer > CHannel Mixer, and adjusted the red/green output channels color. Finally, I duplicated the background layer and went to FIlter > Noise > Add Noise and entered 10 for amount, set to uniform and monochromatic. I added the same noise filter to the layer with radial blur.
