Name: 300 Author: Mike Lao Description: Mimicking the visual effects used in the movie 300. The effects are done by desaturating the colors and increasing the shadows/blacks of the picture. Plus, there should be a hint of sepia. I added lens vignetting on the presets to add more drama to it. If the picture seems dark or the effect isn't achieved properly, adjust the black and recovery sliders to get the effect you want. |
