I ve shoot some place using black and white mode. But it look too clean. I want to apply some filter or what ever to make it look old. For example, dust mark and scratch mark. Is there any filter or tehnique to do it? I m using PS or PS element.

Buy an old modern classic SLR and lots of expired films.

there arent really any method that can one shot make it look old, unless plugin and effects, which need money to buy.

why not just sepia it first, then by using sharp brush and doodle with it and ends it with brushing burning?

then it will look very old and nice.

Hehe the trick is classic.

Get lantern paper and crumple it. Straighten it and scan it. And do some blending magic in Photoshop and some edge burning with dodge and smudge tool.

Thanks. Will try it out.

You can always google an old photo, and put in on your psd as new layer. Then mask out the details, leave the edges and blend onto your oroginal photo. Of course you may want to add a few layers of noise, sepia tone, even selectively blur parts of your original photo.

I have found a plugin program call filter unlimited. Inside have a photo aging kit. It is the filter that what I need. Thanks for all the bro support. There are many technic to do it but this one is the easiest. Here some picture that I apply the filter.

wahh where is this place? so many old stuff.

Nice filter, taken at the cendol shop on Jonker izzit?

It'd be more believable if the woman wasnt sitting there in her new age t-shirt, should mask her out...

can share the plugin?

Waa, photos like 1910.

For those curious, you can also use Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo XI or X2. There's a time machine function which you can use for the aging effect. Below are samples of it:


* Photo taken from www.photoninja.com


The Time Machine function




1. Daguerreotype


2. Albumen


3. Cyanotype


4. Platinum


5. Early Color


6. Box Camera


7. Cross Process

Yup. Taken at jonker walk. Melaka have alot of old and nice place. Those place make my father or grandfather remember back thier old good time. But taken with color and sharp picture won't have that kind of feeling. That is what digital lack of it.
I guess the women sit far enough to let people notice it. He...he....

you dont need all the plug in crap, you can do it easily photoshop 'stock' effects...

firstly aging photos has 3 main components:
3. Vignetting
1. sephia/b&w with a little bit high-contrast or even hi key
2. Dust and scratches plus noise

Vignette? make a uneven oval around the photo, feather it to max and darken it by using brightness or else.

convert it to b/w. desaturated it, give a bit of contrast. if u want sephia tone, play with hue/saturation + colorize.

add noise filter.


the catch is how much the amount of these effects u need to put in.

wow...pro man...
