Lomo Effect via Photoshop

In the previous post, we learned how to INSTAGRAMize our picture using curve adjustment layer via photoshop. Now we will learn another curve adjustment combination to make our picture looked LOMOcified.

Below is the original picture used in this post

To lomocify the picture do the following steps:
1. Lomo Curve Adjustment Layer
Put a curve adjustment layer above the Background layer by selecting "Layer>New adjustment layer>Curves..." and put the following points in their respective channel.

Channel	Point	Input	Output
Red	1	222	252
Red	2	163	196
Red	3	128	128
Red	4	59	36
Green	1	148	180
Green	2	65	63
Blue	1	255	209
Blue	2	0	46

(If you still dont understand how to add points in the curve adjustment layer, then you should practice with this or that post)

the curves should look like this

2. Reduce Contrast
This step is optional. If your original image is sufficiently contrast, then the curve adjustment layer will increase the contrast. To reduce the contrast, add the following point to the RGB channel.

Channel	Point	Input	Output
RGB	1	191	176
RGB	2	64	79

Done!
here is the final result.
