How to give any photo an aged look

Tuesday, July 19, 2011


Hey everyone! My name’s Brandi, and I blog over at BrandiGirlBlog.com. I’m thrilled to be here with you today and thanks to Lori for having me.

In honor of Lori and her love of vintage, I’m going to show you how to give any digital photo a vintage or aged look. Vintage-y, aged photos are popular right now, and for good reason – they look really nifty. The great part is that they are easy to do, and I’m going to walk you through it in the video below.


What you’ll need:
  • Any version of either Photoshop or Photoshop Elements
  • A photo
  • And a texture (optional)


The video:


This video is available in high definition. I recommend clicking the full screen button at the far right to see everything clearly (it’s to the right of the HD logo and looks like four arrows pointing towards each other).



My favorite texture sources (I mention this list in the video):


If you have any questions, feel free to leave a comment, or you can contact me directly right here. Enjoy the video!

So cool, a video!! Yes, Brandi, I do hope you'll do more! :-)
I'm sure I'll have questions once I have the chance to give this a try - it takes me a few times! :-) Thanks for sharing your tips once again on photography editing.

Woah! I'm really loving the template/theme of this site. It's simple,
yet effective. A lot of times it's very difficult to get that "perfect balance" between user friendliness and visual appearance. I must say you've done a superb job with this.
In addition, the blog loads super quick for me
on Safari. Exceptional Blog!

I don't know if it's just me or if perhaps everybody
else encountering problems with your blog. It looks like some
of the written text in your posts are running off the
screen. Can somebody else please comment and let me know if this is happening to them too?
This might be a problem with my web browser because I've had this happen before. Cheers

I have been surfing online more than 4 hours today, yet I never
found any interesting article like yours. It's pretty worth enough for me. In my view, if all website owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the internet will be a lot more useful than ever before.
