Turn Back The Clock
Create a cool photo effect just like from the 80's graphic art and designs.
1. Open an image you want to use. I got this nice photo from a
free stock photo site Here.
2. Create a New Layer. In the Layers palette, click the Create a new layer icon.
3. Add a selection. Click the Rectangular Marqee Tool.
Create a rectangle from the top left to the middle part of the
picture.
4. In the Swatches pallet, select the Red color. Press
Alt+Backspace and it should fill the selection with the red
color.
5. Inverse the selection by pressing Ctrl+Shift+I and fill the
other half of the image. This time, fill it with Green.
6. Hide the layer by clicking on the Eye icon at the left of the
layer and click on the Background layer to activate it.
7. Load the Match Color. Go to Image > Adjustments > Match
Color...
At the Image Statistics section, your Source should be your picture
which is on the Background layer and on the Layer to Layer 1.
Play around with the Luminance, Color Intensity and Fade sliders.
These are the settings for this particular photo. You also might
want to check the Neutralize option and see what would it show.
I got this...
Optional:
You also might want to invert the colors too by unhiding the Layer
1 and press Ctrl+I to invert the colors.
Repeat what we did in the Image Statistics section. Played around
with the settings and this is what I got with the inverted color
one. Hope you like it!
