my question is actually about the colors in the movie. i'm assuming a camera filter is used, but i'd like to produce the same effect in photoshop for static images. what method(s) do you use to acheive this effect on digital photos?

n-e-1?

I'd have to say play with the base of the photo. Levels, saturation, hue, etc... to obtain a more "static" image.

yeah, that's what i've always done, but i figured there was maybe more of a process than just adjusting levels till it looked right...

gradient map adjustment layer with slight opacity?
closest thing I can think of to a camera filter.

i honestly don't see what you mean. could you elaborate a bit?

the colors in the movie, practically any frame have somewhat of a greenish tinge and overall, there is a desatruated color tone. i'd like to reproduce this effect in my digital photos through photoshop without playing with saturation, levels, contrast, etc, ad naseum. :)

let me rephrase that, i'd like to acheive that effect without 'blindly' playing with levels until it comes out right.
i guess a more guided and methodical approach is what i'm looking for. :)

looking at psds that was sent to us from a photoshoot...
they're using a color fill adjustment layer with the color blending mode at 35% opacity to do the color filter effect on their images. and all the images have the same exact layer on top.

kpl, that' it, thanks!
