Does anyone know how to create this?

January 5th, 2011
Hey, I was wondering if anyone knew how to create this effect.


I also hope this is the right board for this, but I've been wondering for a while and I can't find anything on google. Maybe because I'm looking using the wrong name?

Please help? Even if all you know is the name of the effect it gets me a step closer. Thank you =D

I'm not entirely sure what you mean but have you tried using layers and lowering the transparancy?

I recognize the album cover!
I feel like two images were super-imposed upon one another with an added texture layer? That's just my amateur perspective on it.

Looks like Hipstamatic from iPhone...which I only badmouth because I don't have an iPhone. :)

Looks like something you could do in photoshop...maybe even Picnik with some of the textures they have....

Looks like Polaroid manipulation to me - try googling for that or 'Polaroid image transfer'. They've certainly gone for the expired peel-apart film look, even if it was done digitally .... my £0.02 anyway ;)

I'm thinking it is a polariod frame and textures all layered over the photo with different opacities. I do similar less dramatic stuff with textures in photoshop. I am not brave enough for major drama. lol Or.....it could be old polaroid film that was slightly damaged. Very cool!!! I really like the effect!

This looks like a Polaroid Emulsion Lift. It was popular with Polaroid 669 Film. Here is one link to help work with it for the digihead world:

If you don't have photoshop, then on flickr, use Picnik's textures. You can adjust the density of the texture layer and add text like the example you've shown.
