Antique Tutorial

Going from:
to: (nice, antinique/old effect)
in 6 simple steps.


Pick your photo and crop it to 100X100
Do not copy this tutorial exactly...all photos are different and you may have to play with the settings a bit to achieve the coloring you want.


1.) Duplicate your base, set it to screen at 30%.


2.) Add this texture by candycrack to get the basic coloring.
. Set the texture to multiply at 70%.



3.) Add a new selective color layer:
Layer >> New Layer >> Selective Color
Red: -88, 0, 84, 0
Yellow: 0, 0, 5, 0
(You only need to bring out the reds and yellows to create the bronze look).



4.) Create a new curves layer: (this gives the image a more natural, realistic look)
Layer >> New Adjustment Layer >> Curves
First point:
Input: 135
Output: 111

Second point:
Input: 164
Output: 137



5.) Add another texture: by rainharbour

Set it at Multiply at 50%.



6.) This last step is optional.
Add a brightness/contrast layer
Layer >> New Layer >> Brightness/Contrast

Brightness: 17
Contrast: 26



And that's it!
I'd love to see what everyone else got!
Thanks for reading.
