I ran across this in the past: Holga Simulator

I'd love to see conceptDawg make a script for this one. ;)

Also, it looks like puckles is working on a Fake Holga technique.

Lets try to pull our resources together and come up with an elite technique!

The action you posted does a pretty darn good job -- gets some of the subtleties right at least to my eye. Kinda grainy, but if you slide it back to like 12% it makes the color pop, especially if you are playing with the saturation too.

Fallout,
I've finally gotten to a point in the Holga script that I think other people can use it and see what they think. This one was much harder than the LOMO one. This one has tons of variability and randomness built in, so everytime you run it on an image you are going to get something new (just like using a real Holga). I'm not sure it's any better than the action above but it does leave the document state with all editable layers so that things can be tweaked after it is finished.

It features: light leaks, light abberations, film grain, blurry fall-off at the edges, film blurriness due to buckling, and your usual adjustment tweaks.



There is a color light leaks layer that can/should be turned off if you are using it on a B&W image. Just turn off that layer when the script is done.

Let me know if anybody has any ideas on other scripts that might be cool to do.

See the previous LOMO script discussion about how to use Photoshop scripts. More than likely you will need CS or newer to use these.

Oh, I forgot to mention a couple of things about the script:

1. Whereas actions are usually only suited to a single sized image and you have to edit the action each time you use an image that is a different size, this script handles the image size correctly and all effects are scaled based on the image size (including the amount of noise, etc.).

2. It works best on square aspect images but I leave that up to the user to do before running the script...that's just how I work so I figured I'd force my workflow on the world.

I seem to be having constant problems with my Comcast network connection this week. I'll sort it out...hopefully soon. It is usually only down for a short period of minutes at a time.

[edit: fixed...new modem]

I got it. I did a google search, then viewed the "cached" version and was able to download it. ;)

Check here, I just mirrored it. [edit: er, would have helped had I read the entire thread! This is the link to the action, not the script]

Here's my result (with the action):
Fake Holga

(the script times out for me too)

Sorry for the delay in reading the topic!
I'm on assignment in Cyprus and my connection to the net is....unreliable....yeah, that's the word.

While I've been here, some hurricane named Dennis decided that it would be fun to hit my house...thereby causing my server to go down. I can't get to the server to restart it (and don't know for sure if the power situation is stable there yet). I'll be home on August 1st, so that's the best that I can say. You can always check before then, but I can't promise anything before that.

Thanks to MacAddict for mirroring it during my dissapearance.

At least your ok. That should be good by itself. Who else would make these nice scripts? =)
