How To Give Photograph An Antique Look

 

This simple tutorial is an alternative method (from many others available on the Internet) for making a photograph look aged. Suitable for Photoshop beginners.

Let us start off with a normal full-color photograph. I am using the "Young Teenage Girl" from ShutterStock.com.

1

Select the photo layer, go to Filter > Noise > Dust and Scratches. Set the Radius to 2 and Threshold 0.

2

Duplicate the photo layer. Select duplicated photo layer, go to Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur. Set Radius to 4.

3

Make a Layer Mask on the duplicated layer. On the mask, create a Radial Gradient as shown in the screenshot below.

4

Download "Vintage Background" from ShutterStock.com. Resize it to cover the photograph nicely. Go to Image > Adjustments > Desaturate.

5

Set the Blend Mode of vintage background to Soft Light.

6

Download "Grunge Background" from ShutterStock.com.

Resize it to cover the photograph nicely. Go to Image > Adjustments > Desaturate.

7

Set the Blend Mode of grunge background to Multiply. Go to Image > Adjustments > Brightness and Contrast. Set the Brightness to 50.

8

Create a Levels Adjustment Layer. Set the values to 15, 1.48, 255.

9

Create a Hue/Saturation Adjustment Layer. Check on Colorize. Set the Hue to 38, Saturation to 22 and Lightness to 0. And that is all! I have you find this tutorial useful for your future works. Cheers.
