Pocket Plastic Processing Pack #1

I started this blog with the intention of being completely open about the photos I take, and to always identify the apps I used, including the precise steps taken to arrive at the final results if necessary. In that spirit, I'm proud to present the first-ever Pocket Plastic Processing Pack for Nevercenter's Camerabag Desktop! These are some custom filters I created during my time with the beta software, and now that v1.5 is out, I can share them as .CBF files for anyone else to use.

Required: Camerabag Desktop (Mac/Windows versions available)
Installation instructions here: http://nevercenter.com/camerabag/filters/custom_filters

Original

Family_album

1. Family Album: Straight from an 80s time capsule, these faded, color-shifted shots toy with your perception of memory. "Was this really taken last week?"

Raymond_chow

2. Raymond Chow: Named after the grandfather of Hong Kong cinema and producer of Bruce Lee's films, this look approximates the sunburnt, slightly pink look of hastily-archived Asian cinema.

Salad_days

3. Salad Days: Use this warm, yet subtle, vintage look to give any moment that "Ah, Yesteryear!" ambience. Especially good for grungy city shots and confusing grandparents.

Supertoy

4. Supertoy: Can't afford to buy a Japanese toy camera using sensor technology not fit to appear in a Microsoft webcam? Don't sweat it, this supersaturated, supervignetted filter will turn your shots down to -11 where they belong.

Lomotive

5. Lomotive: Святейшее дерьмо! More Russian than a burly henchman named Ivan with a crescent-shaped scar on his cheek, the Lomotive filter gives even the most American of photo subjects the look of stone-cold Communism. Just don't blame us if black vans start showing up in your neighborhood.
