Hey, So I am playing around and trying to build a set of actions to create authentic Holga looks on any photo. This is my first attempt and would love to get your feedback.
Thanks in Advance

I want to do a version with Sprocket holes too. So you think I need to vignette the corners more? What about focus?

ya holga's have lots of vignetting and poor sharpness in the corners

I don't want people to have to crop their images in order to use the Action.

make the original image a layer instead of a bg( via the action), then use canvas size instead of crop.....

That's a great idea. Thanks

definitely blur the corners up --- if not all of it -- looks too sharp and digital like.

cool

Be cool if the last step was flatten and save. Make it a little more sincere if you couldn't get the original file back or modify the effect.
I guess the phones camera ones kinda do this already though.

light leaks!
I suppose every holga is different.. but my experience was.. I loved the weird effect you get if you squeeze the back and front of your holga, the light leaks and these oddball streaks on the edges get different if you squeeze the plastic...
