Sloppy Edges - a review

Well, for a long time we have been looking for a Photoshop action that provided those trendy wet-lab like look of sloppy edges from the developing process that provides an interesting, different and perhaps unique frame for our digital work.

Well, hello Mr. Kubota... Kevin Kubota, no less - a leading wedding photographer in the US who has created along with Craig Strong - of LensBaby fame, a set of high resolution, high quality and interesting sloppy edges with a Photoshop Action to go with them... you can see it at Kubota Image Tools.

So, here's an example of a gallery of work that I prepared with it.

These pieces were all shot with a Canon 5D. They were cropped to 16x7 (most of them anyways) and otherwise converted to B&W in Lightroom. From there they were exported to Photoshop where I added some vignetting, and where the Kubota Sloppy Edges were applied.

Finally they were imported into Lightroom and using Lightroom and a Simpleviewer Web Gallery Template, the web gallery output.

If they're not for you that's fine, but they are something I have been looking for for a long time, and I think they're just great.

Tell us what you think.
