Dramatic Sepia (FilterGrade)<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dramatic Sepia is one of the most widely used image filters because it gives your digital images a timeless celluloid appeal<\/strong>. While the FilterGrade Dramatic Sepia add-on is not free (it starts at $5), the results are worth the small investment. This is a preferred filter among landscape and portrait photographers alike. It works exceptionally well for creating an organic and sunburnt look to send your pictures back in time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LithPrint (DeviantArt)<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Lithographic printing<\/strong> is a traditional photo development technique that involves overexposing color negatives or black and white film stock onto a gelatin silver paper. Photographers using this technique partially develop their photos in a dilute lithograph developer to produce unique and often unpredictable results. LithPrint by DeviantArt makes it easy to achieve the original lithographic look in just a few clicks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
