Night Vision Effect

In this video tutorial I’ll show you how to create a green tinted night vision effect similar to military cameras and night-shot mode on home recorders. All you need is a suitable image you want use to run the effect on and I’ll help you through the rest, adding noise and other elements that make the photo look like it was actually taken after night fall and using a night-shot camera.

Creating TV Scan Lines

In this tutorial I’ll not just show you how to create the effect of TV scan lines on your artwork or photographs, I’ll show you how to achieve it in a non-destructive way using layers, patterns and blending modes. Our mission for this project is to take a photograph captured on any camera (below left) and tattoo the interlacing found on many older-style television sets across the world (below right). High definition this isn’t!
