Retro Polaroid Coloring on your Photo

This is a simple tutorial on how to get the retro polaroid coloring on your photo. This coloring effect will definitely goes well with these polaroid brushes. See, I can't decide which coloring I like the most. So, you'll be learning on how to get the four colorings shown below. They all look almost the same, but if you look closer, you'll see the difference.




1. First, we'll start on how to get the 1st polaroid coloring, the top left picture.

2. Open your image in Photoshop. Duplicate it once. Select the duplicate image on your layer palette and set the blending mode to Soft Light.



3. Now, go to Layer > New Fill Layer > Solid Color. Choose a really dark blue. I use #070142. Set this Fill Layer to Exclusion.





4. Then, go to Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Levels. Slide the black slider to the right a little bit to increase the intensity of the coloring.



And you'll have the first polaroid coloring.

5. To get the 2nd polaroid color, the top right preview picture above..add another Color Fill layer. Go to Layer > New Fill Layer > Solid Color. Choose a light orange. I use #de9b82. Set this Color Fill Layer to Soft Light with opacity of 75%.





And you got the second coloring.

6. Let's continue with the 3rd polaroid coloring, the bottom left preview picture. Go to Layer > New Fill Layer > Solid Color. Choose a light pink. The color code I use is fed1eb. Then, set this Fill Layer to Soft Light with 50% opacity.



And you're done with the third coloring.

7. Finally to get the last coloring effect on your photo, add another Color Fill Layer. Go to Layer > New Fill Layer > Solid Color. Select a dark blue. I use #070044. Set this Color Fill Layer to Exclusion, opacity 100%.

8. Duplicate your original image. And bring this duplicate layer on top of all the layers. Set it to Soft Light.



And we're done with all four retro polaroid colorings.

And as a bonus...

Cool Halftone Pattern Effect on your Photo

You've seen this halftone effect everywhere. In the magazines, music posters, billboards..and now it's about time you learn how to do this halftone effect on your own. With Photoshop, it's very easy. Take a look at this before and after image. If this is good enough, then go on and read the rest of the tutorial.




1. Like any other tutorials, we begin by opening the image we want to use in Photoshop. It's important to choose an image with all white background. If you don't have one, delete the colorful and distracting background out of the way, then emerge your image to a white layer.

You can remove the background using Pen tool or extract filter.

Remove background with Pen Tool
Remove Background with Extract Filter

2. Duplicate the image twice. If you don't know how to do this, just google 'How to duplicate layer in Photoshop'. I'm sure there'll be plenty of answer.

3. Here's your layer palette now.



Layer 1 --> leave it alone, in case you accidentally make any mistake later, you'll still have the original image. We'll work with 'copy 1' and 'copy 2'.

4. In your layer palette, click once on 'copy 2' layer to select it. Then, go to Image > Adjustment > Desaturate.

5. Still working with 'copy 2' layer, go to Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur. A small Gaussian Blur window will appear, set the radius to 25. And here's what you have now.



6. Next, go to Filter > Pixellate > Color Halftone. Use the following settings:





7. Then, go to Layer > New Fill Layer > Gradient. Choose the color gradient you want. I choose the one below..



8. Set the Gadient Fill 1 layer mode to Screen.



9. Move the 'copy 1' layer above 'copy 2' layer.



Here's your layer palette now.



10. So, where's those halftone dots now? Well, of course it's hidden underneath the 'copy 1' layer. To make it visible, I'm gonna delete/erase the background of our image. Since my background is all white, a simple way to erase it is to use the Magic Wand Tool. Select this tool from your toolbox or just click W. Then, just click on the white background area on your image to make a selection. And hit the delete key to get rid of the background.Do this several times until you've erase all the white areas.


11. To make the halftone effect more dramatic, I will reduce the size of the image (copy 1 layer) to 90%. The drag and position it slightly above and to the right of the document.



12. And crop out the area you don't want. Here's the final result:
