Creating the movie 300 Effect
Today we are going to learn through the steps to create this effect using adjustment layers and blend modes to achieve this high-contrast 300 look.
Here is the preview:
1. Start by opening your image. File>Open.

2. Duplicate your layer by pressing Ctrl+J (PC) or Cmd+J (Mac)

3. Desaturate this layer by either using the hotkey Shift+Ctrl+U / Shift+Cmd+U or navigating toImage>Adjustments>Desaturate

4. Adjust the Opacity to between 35% and 60% to subdue the colors of the image.

5. Create a new Photo Filter adjustment layer by navigating to Layer>New Adjustment Layer>Photo Filter.

6. In the Adjustment layer properties sheet, choose Sepia from the Filter menu.

7. Adjust the Density to 100%.

8. If necessary, change the opacity of the Photo Filter Adjustment Layer to between 45% and 65%.

9. Create a new Curves adjustment layer by navigating to Layer>New Adjustment Layer>Curves.

10. Adjust the curves properties to match the figure below

11. Adjust the Opacity to between 45% and 60%

12. Merge all layers into a new single layer by using the Ctrl+Alt+Shift+E / Cmd+Opt+Shift+Ehotkey.

13. Change the Blend Mode to Multiply and adjust the Opacity to a value between 35% and 45%

And here’s the finished product, of course you can tweak the various layer to achieve your desired effect.
