From Digital to Film

[MikeCity]

Hi mates!

I took this picture using my 7.2 mp point and shot camera.
What I wanted to do was to make the image look like if it was taken with a film camera.

Here goes the process: Using Photoshop I added four layers of pastel colors (pink, blue, yellow, and dark blue) then blending them to the picture to alter the colors, next I added noise.
I'm more or less satisfied with the result, but what do you guys think, did it?

All subjection are welcome (composition, distance, lighting, ect).

I'm not a scientist, but I do experiment with photography.

Was the noise coloured or monochrome? It looks more like digital sensor noise because it appears quite colourful, although that could be due to the underlying image. Most tutorials suggest monochrome noise that is also blurred a little.

I think I can also see evidence of JPEG compression in the form of hints of a pattern of square blocks. I haven't experimented but would imagine that you can get away with less compression on a noisy picture.

Hey Wulf,

I used monochrome noise, I will guess that it looks colorful because of the multiple layers of colors that I used, and the different blending modes that went with it . Yeah the JPEG compression is quite evident, I will keep your advice in mind for a future digital to film image.
