Hi again, today’s tutorial is making a new photo to have an old looking impression. To  make it history like and everything. Oh, and  I am using photoshop CS4 to make this tutorial so I didn’t know if it will work well in other version…

Step01
First, choose a photo. This is a dancer from Indonesia, by the way.

Step02
And to have a nice contrast, let’s go to image>adjustments>level(Shift+ctrl+L), change the black slider into 40, and the grey slider into 2.

Step03
Then  go to image>adjustments>hue/saturation. Make the hue into 40, saturation into 25, and lightnes into -20

Step04
Duplicate this layer, then go to filter>blur>Gaussian blur. But the face still blurry, of course, we don’t want that

Step05
In the layer box, select the mask icon. And then make gradient from black into white, from the face to the outside.

Change the layer mode into lighter mode.

Step06
Now copy and paste the image below into the picture, resize it. Then set the layer mode into overlay with 80% opacity.

Step07
Since it still look a little darker,activate the layer and  go to the image>adjustments>level(Shift+ctrl+L), change the grey slider into 2.

Step08
Make a new layer, use a rectangular marquee too (M) to make a border.

Step09
Press shift+ctrl+i to invert the selection. Add a fill to the selection

Step10
Press ctrl+d to deactivate selection. This is the final result.
