Copy the camera

Emulate in-camera effects like

multiple exposures, intentional

camera movement and soft focus

apturing creative in-camera effects doesn’t always

present itself as an idea at the point of shooting,

but that certainly doesn’t mean that all is lost.

Photoshop provides a variety of tools that, when

combined with layers, can be used to mimic

several different in-camera effects with relative ease – and

some even look better than their in-camera equivalents.

Here we’re going to work with layers, Blending Modes and filters

to reproduce four common in-camera effects – a multiple exposure,

a zoom burst, a soft-focus filter and a shutter drag-style effect

• entirely in Photoshop. All of the results look fantastic and will
  help to expand your knowledge of layers and other editing tools
  through practical exercises that are easy to follow. Plus, in the
  accompanying video, as well as looking at each technique
  individually, we’ll also combine all four effects in one shot
  to achieve an abstract, and indeed creative, result.
