Description
My method for ageing photos, this is to look really old, if you want a more recent feel, use brighter less aged stocks, also, if you want to imitate cyanotypes etc, just change the tone and go a bit more blurry.Maybe i'll cover that too...
Anyway, enjoy, its easy - honest.

I also found a crumpled paper texture to make the one I'm working on now look like it's been in someone's pocket for years.

It's weird how some of the most simple effects can be so difficult, and the complex-looking effects be so easy. That's the beauty of Photoshop.
