Hey,
I'm looking for help making my picture look like it is straight out of a movie.
For example, if you watch a deleted scene on a DVD sometimes it just doesnt have the same colour depth or picture quality that the film in the actual movie does; something is done to it.
I want to do the same thing, but just with a picture.
Cheers

A quick and easy way is to add a slight gausine blur (filter/blur/gausine blur) then desaturate the image a bit (image/ajustment/hue saturation) to take a little of the colour out. I did that here on the bottom pic. Wayne

Thanks for reply, but I kind of want to do th opposite, you took a nice quality photo and kinda dulled it out.
I want to take a high quality photo and make it look more high quality, like it is movies quality.
I wish I could find and example to post ><, but I can't - My best description is like some deleted scenes on DVD's

I misunderstoud your post, in that case I would sharpen a bit and increase the saturation, although I haven't seen any deleted DVD scenes so I'm not exactly sure.
The only problem might be getting a soft photo to look really sharp and clear.
If you could post a pic, we could experiment a bit and see what works. Wayne

Here is the jist of what I am getting at, I will try to get an exact example if this does not do.
However, here are two photos one of Clive Owen in Film, and one of some interview.
The colour definatly changed between the two images, however like I said this is not a prime example for the interview picture was not shot as "pre" film quality before they do whatever they do to get what I am after.
Like I said gimme a few days and I will get a prime example
haha
Cheers

Your not going to get the film pic to look like the PR shot, the image just doesn't have the information, it's fairly easy to "soften" a pic but it's much harder to sharpen it. The problem here is if you sharpen this, theres just not enough fine detail to start with, it will just get contrasty and the edges will show, putting back some extra colour isn't too difficult, just up the saturation.
I had a quick go, but it's not much improved, you could probably get it better with more time and fiddling, but it's never going to match the other pic. Wayne
