Vintage effects on a plate

We’ll explore a host of vintage editing techniques here. First we’ll use a texture in combination with a layer blending mode. This is an easy way to add faded areas, dirttexture onto our photo with ease. Once done, we’ll use Adjustment Layers to remove the colour and add a tint just like an old vintage photo. We can also use filter effects to mimic the imperfections we’d often see in old photos, like soft blurry corners and heavy, dark vignetting. Finally, we can add a vintage border to give the image the look of an old wet plate.
