20) Photoshop film effects

Following on from editing my phone photos to make them look like they've been shot on film, I decided trying to re-create those effects with some of my dslr shots.


I think this is my best edit as

I created the light leak effect by using the brush tool with the hardness on 0%. After creating the light leak I changed the blend mode to screen to make it translucent. To make the shot look less clean and crisp I went to 'filter' > 'noise' > 'add noise' to add noise to the shot. I made it monochromatic as I didn't want to add any extra colours. I also tried to re create a scratched lens look. I did this by using a really small brush, drawing scratch marks and lowering the opacity of the layer down to 5%.




I think this is the best light leak I manged to create but I still think the image is too clean for it to look like it's been shot on film. 





With this edit I tried to get that cloudy white wash you can sometimes see with film photography. I also used multiple layers with the brush tool to get different colours into the light leak.
