Look Older Through Adobe

Make pictures look older without compromising the photo realistic quality though Adobe. The easiest and costless way to age pictures is through the powerful Photoshop Brushes. First, open your image or picture that you want to edit, then double the layer to save a second copy. In photoshop menu, click the icons Image-Adjust-Desaturate or press simultaneously the shift, control and letter U keys in your keyboard to take away the hues of your photo and produce an image in greyscale.

Next, add some color to the uncolored layers by clicking Image-Adjust-Hue/ Saturation or press (Ctrl-U). Open your color palate and click the colorized box and draw the color sliders upward and downward to see the result of the image, then click on OK to put the changes in the image. Add another layer to adjust your palate’s opacity if you want to blacken or brighten the borders of the photo or mix some colors to the image. Using more layers gives the picture more depth. Click the Filter-Noise-Add Noise icons on the toolbar and select the amount of noise you want to include to the photo, then click preview to see how it changes the image. You can choose monochromatic or polychromatic noise if you need to add colors on the aged picture.
