I would like to know how to make old looking faded paper.
The color of the background and the style of the pic should give you a good idea what I'm aiming for, why it has to look old. People not using Photoshop 7.0 or confusing dudes that cannot give a straight answer need not apply.
It would be cool to give parts a genuine burned look. As if the transcript was rescued from a fire long ago. To give you an idea, I want to make a website with coolpage that looks like an old alchemist text. But It would be great if I could make blank pages to add my fonts or pictures too that is a blank old, moldy faded page, a foundation for the pages to come Via Photoshop 7.0!!!
HELP PLZ!!

I just made this. Here hare the basic steps more or less.
Clouds filter with colors you want
Max gaussian blur
Max gaussian blur
Conte Crayon light direction left. Play with the sliders until you get some sublt not so beveled lines in there
Then I messed around with the dodge and burn tools
Bumped contrast pretty high
Brought saturation down a little
Not sure if that's what you're after. Hope it helped a bit...

I thing I would approach it differently, I would take a sheet of paper and soak it in tea or coffee to stain it, then burn around the edges, scan it in and use it as my background, better still if you know anybody into calligraphy, get them to add the text, it'll look much more authentic. Wayne
