This might be fun to try on your photos.
Tends to work best on images that are fairly bright and light to start with.

    silly question coming….how do you actually use a photoshop action? i only have cs2, will it work with that?

  • fixtape:

    Not silly at all!

    I’m really not sure since I can’t test in cs2, but I can tell you how to use it.

    Click — window. Then select action. (or click F()

    Then click the little tiny arrow that’s pointing downwards, located on the upper right corner of the action menu.

    Then select load actions from the new menu. Find the file from where ever you saved it.

    A little folder called fixtape should be on the list. click the little arrow next to it to see what’s inside.

    Then click once on retroish and click the little play button on the bottom.

    It’s a lot easier then it sounds!
    Hope that helps.

    Retroish indeed.

    Very reminiscent of poor old sixties photos … and it is exquisite on the mono.

    I shall download it the minute I get home from work!

    Thankyou. I appreciate you taking the time for me :)

  • fixtape:

    No problem!

    And F() should be F9.

    Just to let everyone know, the action works fine in the original CS. Thanks for that Fixtape. Reminds me of the old days of the Kodak instamatic photos.
