Lith and Lomo Tutorial


To make this lith print, I had to first move this photo to Photoshop. Then I duplicated the background layer and  changed the hue to 40 and saturation to 30.  I duplicated that layer and added 30% noise. To soften it even more I used the Gaussian Blur filter with a radius of 1.5. I created a third layer and filled the picture black. I used the elliptical marquee tool to draw an oval section on the photo. I applied a layer mask and set layer blending to soft light. With a black soft brush, I brushed the inside of the picture to create a vignette.


To edit this one, I created a new background layer. I used a radial blur with an amount of 15. I applied a layer mask and used a large soft brush to remove the blur from the center. I created another layer and used a a black, large soft brush to make a vignette and lowered the layer opacity to 50%. I made a new adjustment layer and adjusted the red/green outputs. I duplicated the background layer and added noise with an amount of 10. I also added noise to the layer with the Radial Blur.
