i'm using a tutorial for Paintshop Pro that i found online, on a now-defunct photoblog.
it doesn't get great results in comparison with a lot of the fake lomo effects out there, but it'll do until i can afford Paintshop. : )

Here's a simple formula for "lomo-izing." It got it from the "other lomo group" (Lomo Fakers League or something like that.) I use PSP 9, but it should work for other editors.
1. Increase contrast and saturation by 20%
2. On a new layer blended in "Overlay" mode, fill with a black-to-transparent gradient with the black part on the edges and the transparent part in the middle. Rectangular style is best for the gradient. I messed with the built in black fade gradient to reduce the percentage of black to 20 or 30% of total.
3. Gaussian blur the new layer to the maximum extent.
4. Create another new layer blended in Overlay mode. (I place this layer under the black one: don't know if it really matters.) Fill with a white-to-transparent gradient in spherical mode, with the transparent part of the gradient on the edges. Reduce opacity of this layer to somewhere between 60 and 70%.

i am using jake ingman's lomolize atn, unfortunately his site is down (forever?) but you can grab the file from here
and all you lomo-fans i bet you are interested in this lovely app here
Multimatic lomo-simulator
"Multimatic is a software tool for compositing digital images. It is designed to produce the same effects as multi-lens cameras, such as the Lomographic Super Sampler, Action Sampler, Pop9 or Oktomat. It works with digital image sources, and as a result is much more flexible in what it can do."
Lovely script, used together with lomo actions you can easily simulate the lomo feeling!
-happy new year to you all-

Dropped a disposable camera (by accident) in the ocean while kayaking ... instant Lomo effect.

Now I'm playing with a cheap $10 Innovage Mini Digital Camera and dabbling with the included ArcSoft PhotoImpression sotware ... I like the unpredictable results ...

I use this process with a slight modification here and there sometimes: www.istockphoto.com/article_view.php?ID=190.

hi, just joined the group and added a few of my better attempts. I'm just doing color manipulations (well, and adding vignetting) in Adobe Lightroom, which for me at least has made photography fun again.
I've been using Photoshop off and on, professionally and for fun, for over a decade now, and I find the simplicity of working in Lightroom kinda refreshing. Anyway, if anyone wants to see the originals for the pics I posted, let me know.

I like to use a burn technique with photoshop to create vignetting (can be done easily in Adobe Raw CS3 if you have raw files) and then play with the RGB levels to create a sort of greeny feel to it. A lot of lomo photos seem to have that certain green hue to them.. The vignetting is an absolute must though. It's kind of a complicated thing to do, and I learned how to do it on CS3, but it really really produces a clean effect.

My best results came from using photoshop CS3.
1. Create a new layer
2.In your new layer, use the marquee tool to select half your image, then fill that half with RGB Red. Go up to the top to Select>inverse, and fill the second half with RGB Green.
3. Hide the new layer and select your background layer.
4.Then go to Image>Adjustments>Color Match.
5.At the bottom, chose the name of the image you're using as the source, and for the background field, chose the new layer your created.
6.Set the fade to somewhere between 75 and 85 and hit OK.
7.For vignette, go to Filter>Distort>Lens Correction.
8.In the vignette section, chose the amount to -100, and move the midpoint to your liking, and press OK.
Another way is to take your plain image and in the layer pallet, go to Channels section.
1.Select the red layer, then Image>Adjustments>Brightness/contrast.
Leave the brightness alone and set the contrast to your liking, (I usually go for about +60) and press ok.
2.Now repeat this process for the green layer.
3.Use the same method for vignetting as before.
Hope this helped.

For making a Lomo effect I add first a New Layer mask and then I use the Gradient Tool with a radial Gradient "foreground to transparent" and Foreground set to black. Then, after have selected the layer with the photo (and deselected the mask), I use the Blur->Lens Blur effect with source set on "Layer Mask". Subsequently I delete the layer mask. To make the Vignette I use the Distort-> Lens Correction Effect and I play with Amount and Midpoint. Finally I modify the contrast by playing with the Curves for a single channel.
I hope to have been enough clear because of mine bad English. ;)

There's a tutorial at the Digital Photography School website. Except for a few minor tweaks in the procedure, it works for me.

I've been using Photoshop CS2, and for each photo my process is a little different. I almost always use "lens correction" to add a vignette, as well as chromatic aberration. Rarely I'll also add lens distortion.
I manually adjust the levels to get the kodachrome/faded photo coloring, or just tamper with the curves tool (which is just a different way to adjust the same parameters, isn't it?).
I finalize it by upping the color saturation by 5-20%, making the image lighter if need be, and possibly adding a second serving of vignette with the lens correction.
I have yet to get a decent fake light leak effect.
Most of my postprocessing time is spent fiddling with colors to get the photo looking warm and faded. I'll definately try CHLomo and some of those other tools.

GIMP free software and Lomo Script (developed by elsamuko).
Although I'm agree with omatix, nothing like analogic photography.

Take a look here. This is a brand new video tutorial on how to fake it in Photoshop and the technique is easy and lends itself to be saved as an action.

(No it's not that crap-tastic one that is doing the rounds on YouTube. This new, as of Friday the 13 of Feb.)

I have a cheap "wide angle" lens attachment I found at a thrift store that I took apart and inverted one of the 2 pieces of glass in it. This kinda stretches the image a bit and gives that LOMO blur. I use a darker filter for the increased vingette that the "lens" naturally makes when attached to my 200mm. Used with a flash at night works really well to get a LOMO feel.

First, I crop the image to the size I want. After that, I select the lasso tool and draw a rough circle around the photo, taking care that it isn't too perfect. Then, I inverse the selection.
Next, I make a levels adjustment, then flatten the image. Then I make a curves adjustment. Next, I create a new layer, fill it in black with the paint bucket, select Hue from the blending selection, and lower the opacity to around 30-40%, depending on how it looks.
After that, I flatten the image again. Then, I switch to Lab color mode, select the "lightness" channel, and select unsharp mask under filters. Finally, I return to RGB mode, and examine my finished piece.
Sometimes, I add another curves adjustment at the end for an extra color boost, but it really depends on the photo.

im using gimp 2.6.1 on top of Ubuntu 8.10. First with Select-Shrink about 75px to 150 px and then Select-Feather between 200 - 300 px after that Select -Invert.
Second, create new layer with layer fill type transparent. Take Blend tool (keyboard L), shape:Radial applied it from the center of the photo to upper-down part of the photo. Merge down the transparent layer.
Third. Colour-Curves, and make s-like shape and done! :)

I find this works really well, all that remains is to adjust the hue for a greener tinge
