The Orton Effect — Beautiful, Impressionistic Images from Your Photos

orteneffect-feature.jpg

Dazzling. Soft, elegant, glowing.

The Orton Effect is a fast way to give your photos a dreamy look. Michael Orton uses this technique with multiple images taken on slide film.

Thanks to modern image editing magic, you can get the same watercolor-like appearance with a single image.

Even better, it’s a great way to improve slightly out-of-focus shots!
