Hi All,

I'm new to this forum and hope someone can help me. I do photography and one of my friends asked me to give him some of my photos to hang on his wall. But he want a specific effect like the one I'm putting in the attachment. Can someone help me or direct me to a tutorial where I can see how this effect on the photo can be done.

Thanks.

THere are many tutorials and actions out their that do this just google vintage look in photoshop tutorial or vintage photoshop actions.

I personally believe learning how to create it yourself is better than an action then you have full control over it I will see if I can find a tut that best fits this effect.
 
That's great Hoogle, thanks a lot for your prompt reply, much appreciated, will try it on some of my photos and will let you know how did it go :) If you have more tutorials just send them along as well it would be much appreciated.

Thanks again.
 
there is probably thousands of tutorials on the internet for various vintage effects alone and then they will have categories such as dragon effect, holga effects light leak effects and so on the list is endless, Once you find tutorials you like you then you can start mixing and matching parts from each tutorial to make a new effect.
 
Looks to have a "quasi HDR" look, and seems to be over sharpened.....Topaz would make this look a snap.
 
Here is yucky low res img I had in library. Demonstrates what I meant.

Here is the original

Here is with an overlay layer

Here is with a difference layer in between the original and the overlay. I lowered opacity on the difference layer to 80% but you would get a stronger greying effect at 100%

Just a thought.

I would do a layer adjustment to add contrast, then add an overlay layer of color to bring in more of the darkness and depth of color. A curves adjustment can also grey middle tones for this effect. Just one or two ways in many. And sorry, I haven't looked at any of the tuts yes. But knowing our members, they are good.

Here's with a levels adjustment for contrast and a reddish brown layer overall set to overlay

Enough out of me!

Seif, instead of speaking about this in the abstract, trying to do it on other images, etc., why don't you just post the image you intend to start with (...or a very similar one...), and we'll see what we can come up with.

This thread is 3 weeks old so I doubt if seif will be back, despite a new member dredging up the thread. I imagine he found what he needed. Hope he didn't give up!
 
this thread is 3 weeks old give or take + 4 months lol if it is english layout date but not sure on that sure seems old
 
Arghhhhh! He got me! That's what I get when I look at the forum on my iPhone and expand it ( to see the text more easily) so that the LH column with the dates is off the LH my screen. I feel like a real noob. :-(
