coal dust effect
Aug 12, 2016 17:31:23 #
What is the filter (or procedure) of adding a gritty black coal-dust-looking graininess to shadow parts of images? I suppose the intent is to give an "antiqued" effect. The appearance is somewhat like noise, but all black and more coarse. (I'd ask the individual, but an earlier constructive comment I offered (assuming people here wanted ideas for improving their work) was not liked and I am blocked from that discussion.)

I am totally unaware of what you are talking about. It would help me to understand your question if you would provide a link to some place where this is being used.

Like this?

Some effects applications call it a grunge filter - but you can do it in Photoshop and by using the clarify, black, saturation and dehaze filters you can get close to that in Lightroom's develop module.

I use the Dragan presets in Lightroom.
Here is a link to how to create the effect along with a free download to the effect. The full set costs $19.

Good morning, Bcrawf, I would like to provide information to you about your query, but I am unable to recall the name of it at the moment, even though its name is on the tip of my tongue ! Also, please accept my empathy in regards to your being blocked from a conversation by one of our overly sensitive members. In the not so distant past, I had the same thing happen to me when I had critiqued one of our member's photographs, even though the member had asked for critiquing ! Yep, I found out the hard way that when this member had asked for critiquing, he was really asking for dishonest critiquing which would only give praise to him for his work and he really didn't want to hear the truth! If you would like, send me a private message and give me the name of the person who blocked you. Perhaps, this person in one in the same who had blocked me !
Take care and I send my best regards,
~ Doug ~

Grunge? You can get that with many plug-ins, probably Nik, or ON1. Even using high contrast after turning a photo into BW in Lightroom might do it. Add some grain, too. You'll need to experiment and find what you like.

I, too, have been blocked from evn reading posts by certain members in the past. We should all get together and lobby management to remove or greatly restrict the power of any poster to block any other member. Anyone's screwed up replies to anything I post just rolls of my back as a nasty replier is telling more about him/her self. Of course, a nasty-gram could just be very poorly put useful input. What say, Admin, can we have a revised blocking option.

Yep, some folks just want an "Attaboy" response and will exclude anything else, regardless of how constructive the response or how generous the responder in offering the response.

The only post processing program I am familiar with that has a 'Grunge' filter is Photomatix which is an HDR program.
