Get Wallflower

Wallflower is a script plugin for Photoshop that replicates the look of RA-4 processed and scanned analog darkroom prints. It does this by subtly reducing saturation in shadows and highlights, by smoothing out color transitions, by adding split-toning and by mimicking the pre-flash commonly used in the printing process. It’s highly customizable and comes with a number of action presets for different looks.

Included in the purchase: The script file and actions presets for a number of print looks.

Tips: Wallflower can be used for only smoothing out color transitions, to take the digital edge off your images. You can also use it for split-toning your black and white images.

Requirements: Compatible with Photoshop version 27, for Mac OS X and Windows, in English. Please note that installation is a manual process, where you copy a javascript file to the correct location on your hard drive and install actions into Photoshop. Due to the nature of this digital download, refunds are not possible.
