Hey everyone, Mike here from Filter
0:04
Grade again and today I have a new type
0:06
of video for you. So in a few days we're
0:09
releasing a new product called Film
0:11
Stock. Essentially what this is is a
0:13
collection of analog film styles for
0:15
Photoshop. So retro effects, light
0:17
leaks, analog errors, and other cool
0:20
things that will help build a nice retro
0:22
effect around your image. So today I
0:24
want to do a quick demo of the product
0:25
and show you exactly what's included. To
0:28
do that, I'm going to apply all the
0:29
effects to this
0:31
image. So, to get started, we're going
0:33
to select the film stock play all
0:35
action. You'll see a dialogue box when
0:38
you play it. And then you just hit
0:39
continue. Uh, included in all of our
0:41
filter grade products is a play all
0:43
action. And what this does is it plays
0:46
every single effect in the pack and then
0:48
groups them according to their task. And
0:51
then on top of that, it will turn all
0:52
the effects off. So then at the end of
0:54
the action, you'll have each effect
0:59
grouped and organized and shut off. So
1:00
you can turn them on, build them on top
1:02
of each other, and basically just build
1:05
the effect you want for your image
1:06
without having to play each action
1:08
separately and delete them and mess up
1:10
your whole editing process. So it's
1:12
really an easy way to play everything at
1:14
once. So, if you want to save time as
1:16
well as a lot of effort in terms of
1:18
looking for the right effect, I would
1:20
suggest using the play all action when
1:21
you get started rather than playing
1:23
individually. So, in just a few more
1:25
seconds, it'll be complete and I'll go
1:27
ahead and run you through each effect
1:34
included. All right, all set. So, to get
1:37
started, I usually use the noise and
1:39
grain filters. Uh, these are a nice
1:40
background filter for your photo. So, it
1:43
just adds some noise in the background.
1:45
And um I usually go with the medium one.
1:47
The hard's a little bit too much noise
1:49
and the soft is a little hard to see.
1:50
So, I'm just going with medium. Um then
1:53
next you're going to want to look at the
1:54
analog looks. So, these are the bulk of
1:56
what the product is and their actual
1:58
analog film styles based off the cameras
2:00
of that time period. So, first we have
2:02
analog tint one. And this adds just a
2:04
nice vintage effect. And then you can
2:06
always adjust the opacity if you're not
2:08
happy with how harsh it is. And I
2:10
usually do, but I I make them a little
2:12
bit more harsh for people who enjoy
2:13
that. So, right now, I'm going to tone
2:15
it down to about 60%. And it still looks
2:18
great, but it's not too harsh. Um, I'm
2:20
going to turn it off for now so I can
2:21
show you the rest of the effects, but
2:22
we'll build on this later. So, next we
2:24
have analog tint,
2:26
too. Another great analog style. Then we
2:29
have the monotone effect, which is a
2:30
black and white look. Let me close this
2:32
so you can see. Then we have the analog
2:34
fades effect, which is probably my
2:36
favorite out of all the looks. And this
2:38
adds a nice leak up here or down here
2:40
and up here and then a green tone to
2:41
your image. And um you can always go in
2:44
and adjust the brightness or the curves
2:46
if there's too much contrast or not
2:48
enough in your images, but we'll leave
2:50
that. Then we have analog lith, which is
2:52
like a sepia black and white. Uh then we
2:55
have the roast effect, which is similar
2:57
to the previous one, but with some color
2:59
in it and a more yellow tone. Then we
3:01
have roast two which is similar to the
3:03
previous effect but harsher shadows and
3:06
darker. And then we have the analog
3:08
vignette effect which adds a vignette to
3:10
the edges and a red
3:12
tone. Then we have the caramel effect
3:14
which fades out the image and adds a
3:16
brown uh blend. And then we have analog
3:19
burn which is a burnt look with a little
3:21
bit of brightness. So I'm going to go
3:23
ahead and turn analog tint one back on
3:25
and then we'll move from there. So, next
3:27
we have the add-ons which are made to
3:29
replicate certain errors that occurred
3:31
with film cameras of the time. So, the
3:33
first one is analog soft burn and this
3:35
just adds like a hazy look to your
3:37
image. Uh, then we have analog bleach
3:39
which bleaches it out completely. Which
3:42
is one of my favorite effects as well of
3:43
the add-ons because it's so unique and
3:45
interesting. Um, next we have analog
3:48
expose which just bumps up the exposure
3:49
a little bit. You'll see in here. Uh,
3:52
then we have analog distortion which uh
3:54
adds like a posterized effect.
3:56
And then we have analog green tone which
3:58
greens it out. And finally, we have a
4:00
hard burn effect. So, it's a little bit
4:02
harder than the previous one. And if you
4:04
want like a burnt out image, this is a
4:06
great one. I'm going to go ahead and use
4:08
analog bleach and then turn it down to
4:10
about
4:13
50%. After that, I usually put on a
4:15
light leak or two because it adds a nice
4:18
um blur and sort of like brightness to
4:21
the image. Um the first three are just
4:25
simple leaks that come on the edges of
4:26
your image. Um you'll see the second one
4:29
here and the third one here. And if you
4:31
ever want to adjust the light leak, all
4:33
you have to do is turn it on and double
4:35
click the gradient layer. So then let's
4:37
say you wanted to take this light leak
4:39
and move it to this bottom left corner.
4:40
So all you have to do is adjust the
4:42
angle until you get the right side. So
4:44
about five maybe six or four seven%
4:49
looks good. And then if you want to
4:51
adjust the color, you just come come
4:53
into the gradient layer, click that,
4:55
double click the bottom color, and move
4:58
this up or
4:59
down. And then you can get a more orange
5:02
or more red color. And then you could
5:04
always change that however you like. I'm
5:06
going to go ahead and leave it like that
5:07
and leave it, but let me just show you
5:09
the rest of the light leaks first. So
5:11
then we have the lomo effect, which adds
5:13
like a radiating orange glow in the in
5:15
the center of the image. the leak
5:17
filters which are on their
5:19
own. This is one of my favorites, the
5:22
leak filter too. And then we have leak
5:24
blend which overexposes the image a bit
5:26
and adds a leak on this side. I'm going
5:28
to stick with leak two. And next we're
5:31
going to go ahead and look at the fades.
5:33
So these are the last effects that we
5:34
include. And these just add like a wash
5:36
over the edge of your image. So fade one
5:38
looks like this. Fade two looks like
5:41
this. And fade three looks like this.
5:44
I'm not going to use those for our image
5:45
because it already looks pretty bleached
5:46
out. But, um, those are useful if you
5:48
want a background image or something of
5:50
that
5:51
nature. So, that's it for the actions,
5:53
but then I also included a set of
5:55
brushes to really emulate the dust and
5:58
film scratches you might see in photos
6:00
of that time period. So, what you're
6:01
going to want to do is create a new
6:03
layer so you can apply the brushes and
6:05
then go ahead and check out the brushes
6:07
panel. And then I'm going to select the
6:10
first one and change the color to white.
6:13
And then in the center, click twice. And
6:16
you might not be able to see it
6:17
perfectly on camera, but there's a few
6:19
little dust specks up down here, over
6:22
here, in that area. I'm going to create
6:25
a new layer and do one in black just so
6:26
you can see the difference. And we'll do
6:29
uh let's do the fifth
6:31
one. And I'm going click in the center.
6:34
And as you can see, they're all over the
6:36
place. And then I'm just going to turn
6:38
the opacity down to 20% to make them
6:41
blend in more. And this one I'll do
6:44
50%. And that's basically it for the
6:47
product demo. So, as you can see,
6:49
included with film stock, you get a ton
6:50
of great resources to really build on
6:52
top of each other and create the per
6:55
perfect analog photo that you want. And
6:58
um that's about all I have to demo
7:00
today. If you have any other questions
7:01
