PHOTO EFFECTS EXAMPLES Special Effects that can be found in almost any online or PC-based photo editing program

VIGNETTE  This effect places a dark edging around the photo. It gives it a feeling of depth and refinement.

LOMO-ISH  Color is intensified and very vibrant! Often looks good paired with the Vignette effect like this photo is…  This effect is meant to imitate the effect of taking a photo with an old plastic toy camera.

HOLGA-ISH  Just like Lomo-ish, this effect adds a vignette style to outside edges, but unlike Lomo-ish, a Holga-ish photo is black and white.

SEPIA  Colors are replaced with shades of brown-to-black. This gives a photo a very nostalgic or old-fashioned feel

COLOR FOCAL POINT  Color is intense around a specific focal point (which can be moved) and then colors fade as they get farther away from the focal point

SOFT FOCAL POINT  A focal point is chosen (and can usually be moved) where the picture is very sharp. The farther away from the focal point the picture is, the softer or blurrier it gets.

SOFT FOCUS  This gives the photo an overall soft blur. This is not used as often, because it also blurs hair, eyes, lips and other features that we normally want sharply in focus.
