 Posted: Tue Sep 14, 2004 8:06 pm Post subject: Making a image look like a old photo |
 |
|
I am trying to make a image look like a old time photo (mid 1940's)
The image looks like it is old, but the problem is the white frame around the image sort of spoilers the illusion.
I Think older photo's like these aways had white frames so thats why I am trying to add the frame.
Could some one give me some ideas or point me in the direction on how to make the frame look a little older or have a play with the image and see if they can do any better.
I would love to see the orginal photo from here
http://www.photoshopforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=1140 (the DVD tut)
I have attached the orginal image as well as my image I was working on.

I do like yours I need to do the same for about 5 other images could you let me know what you did to make it look like that as I dont want to make all the images the same sort of look I like your as it looks like the photo has been folded once or twice.

Try opening the actions pallette.
Load the image effects set.
Then look for aged photo. I think it's the first one. Make sure you have you photo layer selected and hit play. The result is pretty good. It's a little too yellow for what you're looking fo i think, but you can adjust the saturation after you run the action.

shoot man..
I don't remember how I did that?
I know I used alf's border FX plugin, and border fade-1.
I also played with the contrast and brightness, levels, used another plugin called gregs factory output 2, and used colorize to get a nice clear yellowish tinge.
I then took out alot of the color to make it look faded sort of. Umm...
I also added noise level 1. And did some manual drawing. Adding cracks into lighter areas, and whitish lines with the bursh opacity low to give sort of a folded look. For the cracks I then used the clone tool to make it look more random.
I don't recall what else I did..sorry. And the above is most likely not in the right order..?
On the other hand, i tried the aged action, works well. Could use some further mods to it, but it provides a good foundation to start from.

I am having probelms uploading an image to this thread. Whenm i try to up load the image, it says this:
Upload Error: Could not upload Attachment to ./files/hows_this.jpg.
My file size is well below 250 kb In fact my file size is 122 KB.
Any ideas? I have uploaded from my exact same directory to this website before with no probelms.
