Photoshop Vintage Editing Styles
Event info
NEW - Maximum 10 participants.
This brand-new course is delivered online and is designed to introduce you to several innovative methods for mimicking vintage print styles with Adobe Photoshop software. Using the full range of Photoshop’s features including hand-tinting with blending modes, grain and texturizing an Autochrome lookalike, plus the wonderful Duotone editing mode, Tim will demonstrate each technique and provide you with sample files so you can practice during or after the workshop. No experience necessary!
The course uses Adobe Photoshop software for both Mac and Windows PC users.
The workshop is run using Zoom video conferencing software and you will be able to watch and interact with your tutor during each topic presentation and ask questions throughout the day. All notes and sample files are provided to you before the event starts, together with tips on how to use Zoom, if you’ve never used it before.
We encourage you to share questions and work in progress images with other delegates, although this is entirely optional.
10.00 Outline schedule
Welcome and outline of the day
Topic 1: Get inspired by history. In the first part of the workshop we’ll look at inspiring examples of vintage prints and learn how to access rare collections online. From this Tim will show you how to unpick a vintage look and devise a digital workflow to faithfully mimic it.
Topic 2: Hand-tinting and Autochrome. In this second part of the workshop, we’ll learn how to apply delicate colour treatments using Photoshop’s painting tools, layers and layer blending modes. We’ll explore different palettes and colour swatches too.
13.00 Lunch break
Topic 3: Cyanotype & Gum Bichromate using Duotone Mode. Learn how to manipulate Photoshop’s hidden Duotone curves to produce images with a unique colour palette. We’ll mimic the look of the most characterful vintage print styles – cyanotype and gum bichromate and achieve the brushed-on look.
Topic 4: Papers, layers and output. In this final session we’ll learn how to export and print our vintage edits onto a wide range of sympathetic art papers and prepare them for online use too.
