Re: Creating a Commodore64 look?
by Kevin Camp (moldyboot) on Jan 17, 2008 at 5:34:06 pm

to get the 64 colors, the easiest way may be to render out as a gif file. you would need to find a 64 color palette to select in the gif color options (you can proably use a phostoshop gif palette, you may need to export it from ps... i've never tried this).

you could also try posterize, but the palette won't be very precise... you could try to create a more precise palette by separating the color channels... try set channels, leaving red to red, setting green and blur to off. then add posterize set to 4 colors.

duplicate that layer and change the red to off, and set green to green. duplicate that layer and change green to off, and blue to blue.

now set the top two duplicate layers to the blending mode add. this should correctly combine your color separations to create an rgb image, but this time it will have a limited color palette. add mosaic (or maybe cc ball action), or do dave's trick to pixelate and it may look pretty good...
