Author Topic: Old Style Candy Bar slides Paul Trimboli Master Film Handler Posts: 274 From: Perth Western Australia Registered: Dec 2002 posted 07-06-2003 12:26 AM                     I am trying to make up some Candy Bar slides for a 1930s cinema, I want an old look about them, they will be run off a DVD player, so I am making the slides and using video software to make them onto a Super VCD. If anyone can help with pictures that I could use, of choc tops, popcorn ect I would really like to get them! Any idea on how to make the slides look very professional? They will also have a voice over-something like "The Candy Bar is now Open, Hot Popcorn, Icey Cold Drinks"  |  IP: Logged Martin Brooks Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 900 From: Forest Hills, NY, USA Registered: May 2002 posted 07-06-2003 06:01 PM                        If you want to give the slides a faded, old-time look, put them into Photoshop and use the Aged Photo.exe program. It really does a nice job of desaturating the color and turning everything a bit yellow, but still looking very nice.  |  IP: Logged Lance C. McFetridge Expert Film Handler Posts: 135 From: Penn Yan, New York Registered: Jul 99 posted 07-08-2003 06:09 AM                     Martin, Is that Aged Photo.exe an add-on to Photoshop, or a stand alone product? Also is it for the windows platform or mac? thanks lance  |  IP: Logged Martin Brooks Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 900 From: Forest Hills, NY, USA Registered: May 2002 posted 07-13-2003 09:46 PM                        I use Photoshop v7.0 for Mac OSX, but I believe that the Windows version of 7.0 is exactly the same (especially since it's called Aged Photo.EXE. When I right click on a file to open it and the OS gives me a choice of programs to open it with, both Photoshop and AgedPhoto.exe appear.  |  IP: Logged Adam Martin I'm not even gonna point out the irony.
