Midnight Sepia

WOW, I finally have CS2 and uploaded the midnight sepia action. I went back to some wedding shots I did and converted the black and whites to midnight sepia. Just that action ads soooo much to the picture, it is AMAZING!!

You should check out the midnight B&W too, did one for my last wedding and the bride took it. (and the midnight sepia)

yup. discovered it a few weeks ago as well. usually i only use aperture software for my pp, but decided to try something different. wow.

Thanks for the tip!

Be careful with MS though... it is very addicting and can be used way too much. I use it probably too much myself but it does do wonders to portraits for sure.

I had great luck with it the first time I used it, but haven't had that great of results since.

I love all the "midnight" filters (though blue and violet are a bit bold unless it's on a picture perfect for those...). Have you ever used the "monday morning" ones? Those too can have some fantastic results.

yah, you can get a little crazy with it.... there are definitely situations where it enhances the art:p , then there are situations where it is clearly the wrong process......:o

Can somebody post a picture pre- & post-conversion please? Thanks!

i forgot to say: so where is a sample???????????????

Thanks for the example. Is that one of when you had success with it? Or when you didn't.

I'm kind of up in the air as to whether I like the effect. I realize what it's trying to do but I didn't like it much when there was a whole craze of "glamour" shots in the Asian (Korean/Chinese/Taiwan​ese) photography industry here in N. America some 10 years back.

I guess it has its appropriate uses, maybe I'll give it a try and see what happens!

Where do you upload those actions from?

i use it on a lot of my wedding photo's, i recently used it for a commercial shoot too, hummer for hire, i took photo's in this guys front yard because he couldn't take it out to get some with the wineries in the background, so i emphasised on the hummer and used midnight sepia without converting to B&W first, and the black hummer came out awesomely!
