Lomography effect

So, my friend wanted to know how to make the lomo effect on a picture; Here is the tutorial.

Song; Coppertone Artist; The Academy Is...

DIRECTIONS;
1. Open any photo into Photoshop.

2. Go to Layer - New Adjustment Layer - Levels.

3. In the Channel drop down menu, select Red. In the slots put; 42, 1.00, 219

4. Go to Layer - New Adjustment Layer - Color Balance.

5. In the Tone Balance option, select Shadows then enter in 0, 25, 0 in the color levels settings.

6. Now select Highlights on the tone balance options and enter 25, 0, 0 in the color levels settings.

We now have the lomo effect completed and to finish it off, we'll add a Brightness/Contrast adjustment layer to add the washed out look.

7. Go to Layer - New Adjustment Layer - Brightness/Contrast.

If you are using Photoshop CS3, checkmark the "Use Legacy" option.

8. Set the brightness to 25 and contrast to -25 then click okay.

Done.
