First, lets turn the photo in black and white, go to Image » Adjustments » desaturate. Then apply some brightness/contrast to it, giving the image that over-exposed look. so go to: Image » Adjustments » Brightness and Contrast. I set 20 for brightness, and +30 for contrast. You may need to adjust this slightly on your image though. |
Now add some grains to the photo to give it the old look. Go to Filter » Artistic » Film Grain.Now, for these settings, you can adjust it according to your taste, I set mine at: Grain: 3, Highlight Area: 2, Intensity: 4 |
Next, add some of those old/brown look that you see on all the old photos, so create a NEW LAYER, and fill it with: #8A681B, now set its Blending mode to: Soft Light |
