Feb 14 10 07:16 pm Link I'm a fan of the grunge effect, on the right photo, and in moderation. Like EVERYTHING... it's good if it's good, bad if it's bad. ; ) Feb 14 10 07:22 pm Link I hate the "texture overlay" look. For me, it wrecks a good photo, and certainly does nothing to save a bad photo. Feb 14 10 07:23 pm Link I think I might have too add some work like the to my profile.

Feb 14 10 08:10 pm Link Feb 14 10 10:30 pm Link in my opinion the biggest mistake you are doing is to keep the film border still white. Tones of your images are not that bright and the viewers eye (in my case a little boozed up but still) ends up looking at the film instead of looking at your models eyes. also if I were you I would pick up my best shot and make one image...or vertical atleast for MM. Feb 14 10 10:38 pm Link Seems like a cool thing to use for consumer clients who want something cookie cutter unique. Not good or bad, just the way it is, and I bet it could be popular if you made a product set with those filters. However, it's not something I'd use for art. But, at that point why not take a film camera or two on set and do it that way? You could charge more, and even give the clients the film strips at the end in a nice frame. Could make even more money that way. Feb 15 10 12:07 am Link Andrew Thomas Designs wrote: Yeah good idea! Im doing this effect because I was unhappy with my shoot but still wanted something rocking and a bit dark. Basically since my light wasn't good enough on the shoot to do a beauty edit I thought that I could do a vintage grunge edit. Feb 15 10 12:30 am Link You should be fine with the final product... after all you are a graphic artist.

Feb 15 10 04:56 am Link I'm not entirely sure what "Grunge" refers to, since I've seen a number of images with little in common under that label, but I don't mind what you're doing. You should consider combining your textures with more blending modes, though. Feb 15 10 05:33 am Link Dylan White wrote: My opinion of grunge is just that Where did you sell it? What was your market? I cannot see wasting my time on something like this.. any way you want to look at is.. I wear my pants at my waist also..

Feb 15 10 12:34 pm Link Did you scan a film negative and input your photos or find it somewhere? It's something that might be fun to mess around with like using polaroids as backdrops. Feb 15 10 01:01 pm Link nope everything is from scratch but the photos. Feb 15 10 01:17 pm Link Feb 15 10 06:10 pm Link that stand by image is not a stock that you can use as you wish. its from Fallout games. play nice.
