Concept
“Lomo pictures are open saturated colors and darkening around the edges of the photo.“
1. Open the image you want to edit in Hornil StylePix
Command: File > Open (Shortcut: Ctrl + O)
“If you have a big picture, reduce image size for faster working“
2. Choose the Select Circular Region tool
Command: File > Edit > Tool > Shape Region > Circle (Shortcut: Shift + M)
Adjust the softness value to 150 pixel before creating a region.
“The softness value determines a selecting region is how to soft. If the picture size is smaller than this example, it should give more smaller value.“
