In general, images shot with a digital camera or obtained using a scanner are in RGB color
mode, meaning that they are composed of the three colors red (R), green (G) and blue (B). Staggering each
of these colors slightly, results in the effect of colors seeming to be misaligned at the time of printing.
As it is easy to create an effect of colors being misaligned in the case of dividing lines between black
and white, a good subject to use would be a black motif printed on a white background, such as those seen
on a signs or stickers. |

When opening an image in Photoshop, it is possible to individually edit the
channels of the colors that the image is made up of. After adding “noise” to your image using
a filter to create an aged feel, stagger the red and blue channels slightly and it will seem like the ink
has run during printing. |

1. Adding noise to an image
Add fine noise to the image using a “Mezzotint” filter to
give the image a “rough” feel. In cases where the noise levels are too high, apply
a “Fade” to reduce them. |

2. Staggering the colors of
an image
Using the “Channels” palette,
stagger the colors by moving each of the three colors that make
up the image slightly or rotating them. The image will then seem
like a print where the colors have run. |

3. Duplicating and overlapping
layers
In order to further emphasize the feeling
of an image appearing blurred, make duplicate layers, stagger them,
reduce their opacity levels and overlap them. Finally, complete
the image by using the “Cutting Tool” to delete unnecessary
areas. |
