How To Go Vintage.


I'm in the mood for some dreamy vintage coffee shots.
So here you go:


This is the original, shot with natural light and perfectly exposed.


Add solid color #374a53 and set it on Exclusion


Next, add solid color #fdffd2 and set it to lighten
Change the opacity to: 39
and Fill to: 15



Now comes the fun part ! CURVES!
set them as shown.

RGB: Point 1: Output: 244
                      Input: 239
          Point 2: Output: 221
                      Input: 175
        Point 3: Output: 53
                      Input: 59
        Point 4: Output: 41
                      Input: 0
RED: Point 1: Output: 254
                      Input: 252
          Point 2: Output: 218
                      Input: 178
        Point 3: Output: 63
                      Input: 61
         Point 4: Output: 58
                      Input: 0
GREEN: Point 1: Output: 254
                      Input: 241
          Point 2: Output: 227
                      Input: 201
        Point 3: Output: 75
                      Input: 93
       Point 4: Output: 60
                      Input: 0
BLUE: Point 1: Output: 217
                      Input: 250
          Point 2: Output: 79
                      Input: 41
        Point 3: Output: 48
                      Input: 0


Now adjust the colour balance as above.


Then duplicate it and set the blending mode to screen,
Then adjust the opacity of the new layer to 38%
This will give it some light.


To get some contrast and a little desaturation,
Put a black/white gradient map (set it on reverse if necessary)
and then change the blending mode to multiply.



Hope you enjoyed this.
Have a good day folks !
