Tutorial: Vintage Effect
Tuesday, March 27, 2012 @ 8:02 AM
 Today I'm going to teach you guys how to add a simple vintage effect on your photos using Photoshop!  Step 1: Open an image then duplicate that layer. (If you don't know how to duplicate, right click on the layer containing the image and click Duplicate Layer Hello Rainy Martini Lol Lol) Why duplicate? You don't wanna ruin the original image, do you? Just in case.  Step 2: Create a new layer, then fill it using the paint bucket with a pale yellow color. As I have said earlier, different photos have different elements, the shade of yellow may vary depending on what properties the photo you're editing is in. In this case, I used #feff73. I think it's safe to use that, too. You could try something darker or lighter. Set the blending options to Multiply and adjust the Opacity to 60-70%.  Step 3: Repeat step 2, but this time, fill the new layer with a dark blue color using the paint bucket. I used #1a1a6f. Set the blending options to Exclusion, then adjust the opacity. Something between 50-70%.  You're almost done! But the photo needs some boosting, so here goes. Step 4: On the Adjustments* panel, choose Levels, then you will see a dropdown menu with RGB written on it, select Red and move the dial to the right a little. Just a little budge or until you're satisfied with the redness of your now vintage-looking image. Adjust the Curves, too. There's no specific pattern because as I said (again), different photos have... you know what. So, just play with it, drag that damn little dot across the graph like a killer dragging a dead body, add more dots then slide em again until your heart melts with satisfaction. *If you're using Adobe Photoshop CS3 or lower, you can find it via Layer > New Adjustment Layer.  Step 5: Click Color Balance (also found on the Adjustment panel) and choose Shadows, adjust the Cyan-Red dial to the right a litte, about 10 will do. Next, choose Highlights, and adjust the redness, too. In this case I added +13.  Step 6: Adjust the contrast, 20-25 will do. You can add another Curves layer if you wish but it is not necessary. I only did it to enhance the image more. 
AND YOU'RE DONE!
(Or in this case I am)
