Hudson is colder towards the center, so let’s create a new layer and fill it with a radial gradient. Completing the effectĭid I mention every retro effect looks better with film grain? Let me insist.Īdd some film grain as we did with Mayfair, either by downloading it or generating it with Krita’s noise filter. It’s a good idea to keep the original layers disabled as backup.

When you are done, duplicate the layers and merge them together. You can go as crazy as you want, but unless you are going for a sci-fi glitchy effect, subtlety is the key. What we can do now is select any of these and use the transform tool to change their size, generating the fringes effect. Now we have the same image as before but with every channel spread into a separate layer. Now duplicate the layer, go to properties again and leave only the blue channel enabled. In this dialog we can deactivate individual channels and take control on how they are combined. Let’s start by going to the layer’s properties by right-clicking on it (or pressing F3). You might think this is a bad thing, and old school photographers certainly did!Īdding Chromatic Aberration in Krita is easier than it sounds. You can see it as “fringes” of color along the areas that separate dark and bright parts of the image. Chromatic Aberration in KritaĬhromatic Aberration is a failure of a lens to focus all colors to the same point. I got these curves from Gram of the day’s tutorial. Note this is only one filter, just change the channel using the dropdown. They don’t have to be exactly the same, just similar enough. Apply a curves filter ( CTRL+M) and copy these curves. And peculiar looks require peculiar curves. Hudson has a very peculiar way of looking. Hudson combines a cold tint with several vintage effects like vignetting and chromatic aberration.
