How to get an old photo effect, fast and easy way

Guys,

This the last day of the Competition. If you still did not submit your work – now is your chance.

I wish the best of luck to all of you.

And here is a little something I just did for those of you who love photography. I shot this image a few years ago, there was this beautiful olive tree plantation and the clouds were just magical. The shot was taken in Istria/Croatia and I must add that this area offers loads of opportunities for photographers and people who like photography.

After I did a little “touch up” in Photoshop (wanted to emphasize the oldness of the tree and the magic of the surroundings) I placed the photo on one of the background from Old Grunge Paper Pack. This was done using layer multiply effect.

I placed the whole thing on the paper that I did for this purpose (plain brown background with texturizer filter applied).

The cornders come from Photo Corners Photoshop brushes.

So, basically, to get an effect like this is more simple than it looks, isn’t it?

So, I hope you like it. Feel free to browse through my little shop for more.

Love ya all,
Silvia
