Today I want to show you how to create an antique look of a photograph through Photoshop tutorial. This simple tutorial is an alternative method for making a photograph look aged. It is suitable for Photoshop beginners.
Let us start off with a normal full color photograph. I am using the "Young Teenage Girl" from Shutter Stock.
Select the photo layer, go to Filter - Noise - Dust and Scratches. Set the Radius to 2 and Threshold 0.
Duplicate the photo layer. Select duplicated photo layer, go to Filter - Blur - Gaussian Blur. Set Radius to 4.
Make a Layer Mask on the duplicated layer. On the mask, create a Radial Gradient as shown in the screenshot below.
Download "Vintage Background" from Shutter Stock. Resize it to cover the photograph nicely. Go to Image - Adjustments - Desiderate.
Set the Blend Mode of vintage background to Soft Light.
Download "Grunge Background" from Shutter Stock. Resize it to cover the photograph nicely. Go to Image - Adjustments - Desaturate.
Set the Blend Mode of grunge background to multiply. Go to Image - Adjustments - Brightness and Contrast. Set the Brightness to 50.
Create a Levels Adjustment Layer. Set the values to 15, 1.48, and 255.
Now 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 hope you find this tutorial very useful for your future works. Thank you...
