Adobe Photoshop Camera Raw Cc How To Use Photoshop

Learn tips and tricks on how to use Photoshop for photo editing, manipulations, designs, and more.

In this Photoshop tutorial, well learn how to add an old, antique or vintage photo effect to an image using the Camera Raw Filter in Photoshop CC (Creative Cloud).

Well start by creating a custom black and white version of our image before applying a sepia tone for an old fashioned look.

Well add grain and a vignette effect, and make the image look like it has faded over time by toning down the highlights, lightening the shadows and reducing contrast in the midtones, all from within the Camera Raw Filter itself.

Well also combine the Camera Raw Filter with a Smart Object to keep the effect both fully editable and non-destructive, allowing us to go back and edit our settings at any time and keep the effect completely separate from the image itself, leaving the original photo untouched and unharmed.

For Photoshop CS6 users, you wont have access to the Camera Raw Filter in Photoshop itself, but you can still create this same effect using the same Camera Raw settings.

Youll just need to open your image in Adobe Camera Raw rather than in Photoshop.

Ive just opened my image in Photoshop, and we can see the image sitting on the Background layer, currently the only layer in my document (and in fact, it will remain the only layer in my document even after the effect is complete).

And for that, we first need to convert the layer our image is sitting on into a Smart Object.

Click on the small menu icon in the top right corner of the Layers panel.

You can also just press the letter F on your keyboard to toggle Full Screen Mode on and off.

Theres other panels we can choose from as well which we can access by clicking on the various tabs just above the panels.

To create our old antique photo effect, lets start with the HSL Grayscale panel.

First, select the Convert to Grayscale option by clicking inside its checkbox.

As soon as you select this option, youll see your image in the preview area switch to black and white.

For example, dragging the Reds slider towards the right will lighten any areas in the black and white version that originally contained red.

If you drag a slider and nothing happens, its because no part of your image contained that particular color.

Keep an eye on your image in the preview area as you drag the sliders to judge the results.
