PHOTO EFFECTS EXAMPLES

Special Effects that can be found in almost

any online or PC-based photo editing program

VIGNETTE

This effect places a

dark edging around the

photo. It gives it a

feeling of depth and

refinement.

LOMO-ISH

Color is intensified and

very vibrant! Often

looks good paired with

the Vignette effect like

this photo is…

This effect is meant to

imitate the effect of

taking a photo with an

old plastic toy camera.

HOLGA-ISH

Just like Lomo-ish, this

effect adds a vignette

style to outside edges,

but unlike Lomo-ish, a

Holga-ish photo is black

and white.

SEPIA

Colors are replaced

with shades of brown-to-

black. This gives a

photo a very nostalgic or

old-fashioned feel

COLOR FOCAL POINT

Color is intense around

a specific focal point

(which can be moved)

and then colors fade as

they get farther away

from the focal point

SOFT FOCAL POINT

A focal point is chosen

(and can usually be

moved) where the

picture is very sharp.

The farther away from

the focal point the

picture is, the softer or

blurrier it gets.

SOFT FOCUS

This gives the photo an

overall soft blur. This is

not used as often,

because it also blurs

hair, eyes, lips and other

features that we

normally want sharply in

focus.
