Confused Hello People, this is actually the first time I post a topic here since until today I found a forum about photoshop, so I decided to ask you guys a question about an effect I've always wanted to know how to do it.

I've came accross to a few pictures on the internet and I'm just dying to learn how to do this.
Is like taking a photo or image and making it look kind of old and cracked. I'm including one of the images so you guys have an idea. If any of you know how to do this, pleaseee could you let me know how to do it?


Thank you so much in advance![/img]

My guess would be an image of dry cracked earth added as a layer, and a suitable blend mode and opacity used (possibly overlay?) heres one I just did using overlay I didn't have cracked earth so I used a rough wall. Wayne

I missed a bit out, it'salso turned to black and white with another layer added and painted with a yellow colour then the blend mode for that layer set to colour and a low opacity set. Thats how I would do it Wayne

Good one swansea. You could probably make some neat looking bodily injuries with that effect.
