What you need to have: Adobe Photoshop
What you will learn: colour mood adjustments + depth of field effect + film effect
PS: ⌘ key for Mac users / CTRL key for Windows users
Colour mood adjustments
1. Adjust the Hue/Saturation: ⌘U/CTRL-U
2. Adjust the brightness and contrast: Menu > Image > Adjustments > Exposure…
Depth of field effect
3. Duplicate current active layer by dragging it to the ‘create a new layer’ button located at the bottom of Layer window.
4. Apply lens blur on the new layer on top: Menu > Filter > Blur > Lens Blur…
Adjust according to your own preference.
5. Click on the ‘add layer mask’ button at the bottom of Layer window. Then click and select the ‘Layer mask thumbnail’ (the white rectangle).
6. Select brush tool(b), set the master diameter to 400px. Then choose the focus point in the photo and click on it.
Film effect
7. Create a new layer by clicking the ‘create a new layer’ button located at the bottom of Layer window.
8. Fill the new layer with black colour: reset colour to default black & white (d), switch black colour to background (x), fill the layer (⌘-del/CTRL-backspace)
9. Set the opacity of the black layer to 70% by pressing ‘7′
10. Use erase tool(e), set the master diameter to 400px. Then start erase the center of the photo.
11. Flatten the image: Menu > Layer > Flatten Image and add noise: Menu > Filter > Noise > Add Noise…
Cinemascope (optional)
12. Add black bars on top and bottom of photo and it’s done!
Use Rectangular Marquee Tool(m) to select (drag) upper part of photo, hold the shift key and select the bottom part, fill with black colour (⌘-del/CTRL-backspace)
You can also add an extra step to twist the colour into this mood by using ‘Color Balance’(⌘B/CTRL-B). Drag the slider towards cyan and blue for Shadows, Midtones & Highlights.
I’d like to donate to ebin.wordpress.com for the contribution.
Thanx a lot for this tut dude. i ve been looking for this
Everything works fine until the blur part. The paintbrush tool doesn’t “unblur” anything. I have CS2. help?
make sure you are painting with black on the mask layer not the layer itself.
Yeah, you have to make the foreground colour in your colour pallet black to erase on a mask.
I’ll be posting more useful tutorials from time to time.

DS: If your photo is very big, you need to make the erase tool bigger by hitting ‘]’ before click to erase, adjust and test until you satisfy with the result.
Rosario: Photoshop earlier than CS2 has no Exposure feature. However you can try using ‘Brightness and Contrast’.
Jared: Since I am not sure what is ‘difference’ and ‘exclusion’ you mean, I’m just gonna tell you that the brush should be BLACK color in the layer mask thumbnail.

Ciao Ebin!
I found your tutorial so useful, I made a little action to automate most of the effects you describe. I just added a couple of tweaks to it: on a particular point you tell the users to flatten the image. I applied a Ctrl+Shift+Alt+E action instead, making a copy of all existing layers and then merging those!. At the end of the process, when you describe how to apply a blue filter to the resulting image, I added a simple “duplicate layer” action, so the effect is put on a new image instead of the original. I think it’s best this way, what do you think?
You may find the action on my site
Enjoy!
Hey ebin! I think you missed my comment, but can you tell me what you think of the results I got on my photograph? Thanks a bunch!

Although nifty, and a really helpful tutorial for those so inclined, all of these effects aren’t really required to make your photos look like stills from a movie. It really depends on what you’re photographing. For instance, the name of my company is LetterboxTen because of the cinematic effect my images have. Of course there is post processing, but I don’t use any crazy manipulated methods to produce my photos. Check it out if you want. letterboxten.com

Nicely done, I’ll try this with TheGimp but using a filmgrain effect instead of noise, and vignetting with gradients, there is even a plugin that blurs the image accordingly to a source gradient it’s called “focus blur” or fblur.
Which version of Photoshop is this? I’m using Photoshop 7 and I cannot find many of these options.
Great Effect, some photos just get a new life. thanks

Hi.

Cool effect and I’m trying it out right now. The current settings in this tut may not work as good on the image your using. It all depends on the image. The setting stated here are too dark for my pic.

Cool!! I tried it and it works fantastic.
Nice effect, but you don’t need Photoshop. I used the Gimp! Although the menu’s aren’t the same, you can get the same effect. Gamma adjust in The Gimp is under Colors -> Levels. Gamma is the top middle slider. All other adjustments should be familiar if you used to The Gimp. Here is my source: and the result:

Great Tutorial. Nicely Done!
Amazing tutorial, but…
On step 6 I think that it must say:
6. Select eraser tool(e), set the master diameter to 400px. Then choose the focus point in the photo and click on it.
using a brush doesn’t work, coz we need to open a hole on the mask…
thanks a lot!
Great tip : )
thank you, it has great effect to my photos
that’s a good one
Rather than erasing or masking after applying the effects, I think it would be easier and more effective to do a quick mask by pressing ‘q’, create a radial gradient for the focal point, press ‘q’ again, then apply the filter. That way the effect will gradually increase as you move away from the focal point.
thanks a lot!
I couldn’t find:
Menu > Image > Adjustments > Exposure…
in Adobe Photoshop 7.0 version.
Bcoz, that is an imp effect to be made.. i couldn’t proceed further…
could anyone please please please find a solution to get ‘exposure’ panel ….
thanx in advance,
This effect make the photos totally different, really have movie feeling.
I will make a travel photo for my girl friend as her wallpaper, I hope that she will love it.
Thanks a lot!
I can’t get the layer mask working, I use the brush tool but it seems I’m doing something wrong since I can’t make the focal point appear.
Any tips? Where I might be going wrong?
amazing , it helped a lot
Wow.. this is freeking awesome! I love it! Great job on the post and showing the images of the PS buttons along the way. You rock!!!!!!!!!
@ setp 6 : Ensure you have the White color as background color after having selected the mask and your brushe.
Cheers, Thank for this tut.
Hey..nice tu..
but..what about turning my video footage into movie-like effect? like this with the photo.. do you know if it is possible in adobe premiere maybe?
Hi We have photoshop 7.0 on windows XP but on my photoshop adjustments we don’t have EXPOSURE. Can you tell me where it is?
Thank you
I love it
great
for many day i was thing about this effect
now i get it.
thnx
i cant get the 5 step to work for me i create the new layer mask I select the white rectangle, change the brush to 400 click on a focus point and nothing happens.
please help me.
wonderful and very helpful!
i get confused in section 6. . Can you explain it a bit more? When I choose brush and than when i click on photo, nothing happens. Probbably i am doing something wrong, but i can not figure it out what.
thanks
super. thanks
This tuto isn’t from u u copied it from 9tutorials
good effect! see my photoshop vista effect in http://dzibril.webs.com
Pretty cool effect, bro, thanks a bunch!

Great Totorial. i am very pleased.
Refreshing tutorial. Thanks
Thanks for a fantastic tutorial that was really nice
Very useful, thanks!
Thank you so much
I really love this tut
HI, thanks very much for the tutorial. I learnt a lot of tips from it which I’d been taking for granted with auto-tools in Picasa. I’ve had some great results from unexpected pictures with it.
Its fine but i saw better then this tut sorry
it is awesome
is this malacca?
<3 the effect!
thanks great tutorial!!! now i can try in my personal photo…!
good thank you
Hey! I’m trying to do these tutorials, but when I go to Image>Adjustments, Exposure is greyed out. How come? How do I un-grey it?
great technic, good job…
AWESOME…….!!!
nice, thanks!
Great tutorial… thanks
Just Amazing !!
Great tut, but it works only for the tutorial-picture, this never worked on any other pictures for me. At the exposure changing step f***s up the colors :S I tried different settings but still bad..
Hey i cant find the exposure in adobe photoshop 7 how can i do this some one help pls pls pls
Regarding step 2. i couldnt find the exposure option. I’m using photoshop 7. Is there another way to achieve the same effect?
thanx a LOT!!i dug for this for years..i think..
Thanx a lot for the tutorial, but I was actually interested in making a video lool like this instead of a photo. Did anyone try this on home made video? I was wondering if I could convert avi movie into a adobe filmstrip FLM, and then apply all these settings to all the frames, and save them into avi. I assume that we will have a Hollywood moving picture, ain’t we?
Thanks for the tutorial, i loved it
Hello again. I find this tute very interesting but , like i’ve said, it is not a hollywood picture that I’am interested about but in Hollywood moving picture. My idea is the following:
1. Convert avi to filmstrip with adobe premiere
2. Apply this settings of the above tute to all the frames of the filmstrip
3.Convert it to avi again
4. Hollywood moving picture instead of a picture.
Is it possible?
i agreee with “Deez nuts”
the second step is way off, ithink
Very nice tutorial…
nice tutorial
that amazing , i will use on my next trainning,
That’s an awesome effect! Definitely will work nicely for some of my wedding pictures

Very Nice tutorial! Love it!!
very nice tutorial.
thx for sharing.
and keep it coming.
Hi, I’m having trouble with step 9. I just don’t seem to be able to fill the layer, it doesn’t go black when I try to do that.
Could someone please tell me how to do it? Or if there’s anything missing in Ebin’s explanation? I know it’s a very silly thing but I can’t do it and I’d be very grateful if you could give me a hand
great tuts!
Thanks for this CINEMATIC EFFECT TUTORIAL
Thank you very much for the nice tutorial. I’m making lots of my family album pictures like this.
Hi, for those people that say that this doesnt really work for them when it comes to exposure part: think! of course not every photo will work with same setting, what are you trying to achieve with exposure is more vivid whites and darker blacks, try going around 0.6 with exposure and fine tune to make white parts vivid, then with offset try ro darken the black parts, dont play much with gamma setting, it ruins color. slightly(10-20) left or right will do but no further.
And also if you try to achieve the bluish effect thats shown at bottom of tutorial but it doesnt really work for you then do what i did, switch to CMYK mode, select your image layer, go to levels, from drop down menu choose cyan, then play with midtones slider, about 25% to the right should give you the effect, cheers and good luck with it, also for author: great tutorial man.
Great Info, thanks for sharing it with us.
