How to Make a New Image Look Old with Adobe Photoshop
Adobe Photoshop CS5, a leading image-editing program, provides several ways to making changes to images to make them appear old. Which technique you should use depends on the look you’re trying to accomplish. To make a picture appear as though it was taken a long time ago, pre-colour photography and photographic camera allows you to implement a sepia impact. To make a picture appear old and grainy, you can use the texture narrow function. Whatever method you choose, few things provide more entertainment than testing with results in Adobe Photoshop.

To make the picture appear as though it were taken from an old-time photographic camera, you want to implement a brownish shade. Click the "Preset" drop-down selection and choose "BMY brownish 1."
