Before/After - Evening glow on Golden Gate

[Indranil Sircar]

Here is view of the Golden Gate... I decided to go the old style photo. Added multiple layers with blending modes to get the effect. Here is the workflow -

- desaturate to remove color
- overlay to increase the intensity
- added a new layer with 50% gray fill and add noise then used gaussian and motion blur followed by changing blending mode to overlay
- applied lens distortion filter to add vignette
- used an adjustment layer to change to b&w with tint and then reduce opacity
- created a new layer and used pencil to draw black and white scratches and changed blending mode to soft light and change opacity to get the final effect.

Hope you like it.

Indranil, This does look like an old photo. The color tint really adds some age. Nice comp.maybe just a bit more room on top. Nice pp work!:)
