How To: Create a lomography look in Photoshop

This video demonstrates a way to use the lomo effect on pictures in Photoshop. The effect makes colors stand out more, thus making the picture stand out more. The first step in adding the lomo effect is to change the color curve levels of the picture by going to Image > Adjustment > Curves in Photoshop. They should be changed very slightly, from a straight line to a slight "s" shape curve. After this, the gradient map should be changed to a black to white gradient. Finally, the mode of the new gradient should be changed to Overlay and the opacity changed to your personal preference. This video is helpful for people new to Photoshop or people who want to learn a new Photoshop technique.
