Abstract
The digital Mexican Sepia filter has been a long sought-after visual effect in American cinematography. It’s an effect simple to imitate for the layman but difficult to create an authentic Mexican refraction index. Due to a growing demand for more authentic Mexican visual filters by modern audiences, studios have spent additional millions paying actors to film in the middle of the desert of the Chihuahua and Coahuila regions where the natural Mexican Sepia light filter occurs at its maximum state. Using basic digital image processing techniques this paper will create an authentic Mexican atmosphere in any environment by adjusting the refractive index, dust, and cumin levels to reach a South of the border flavor.
