Make Your Photo Old

To make my photo old, I followed the strategy by this Fotor “How to Make Your Photos Look Old” web page.

• Lower contrast
• Increase brightness
• Lower saturation
• Increase tint
• Add vignette around edges
• Increase grain… noise
• Add texture
• Blur background

The first five I could do with my iPhone in the Photos app. Then I brought the image into Procreate to add, with brushes from Lisa Bardot Texture Shaders, grainy texture, a bit more spots of texture, spotty noise, and, with Procreate’s select Gaussian Blur adjustment, a bit of blur on the left hedge and top of lighthouse. I also added a layer of orange-yellow on low opacity for better tint.
