Applying a Lomo Effect

Simulate the retro-effects of a lomo camera. Photos taken with a lomo camera are high contrast, with a golden hue and a noticeable vignette.

You can save your settings as a preset for future use.

To Use the Lomo Effect:

1. In Edit mode, in the Add group, select Special Effect.

You can also access the Special Effects menu from the Filter drop-down menu or Filter toolbar.

2. Click Lomo.
3. Drag the Color Distortion slider to the right to increase the color distortion.
4. Drag the Vignette Strength slider to the right to increase the vignette strength.
5. Do one of the following:
   • Click Done to accept your changes and close the panel.
   • Click Cancel to discard your changes and close the panel.
6. Click Exit to leave Special Effects, and return to the Filter menu.

You can right-click a slider to reset to the default value.

You can use the Edit Brush to paint this effect onto specific areas of your image.

You can use the Gradient tool to transition this effect across specific areas of your image.

You can use the Radial Gradient tool to apply effects around, or directly to, a center point.
