Cool and Damp

5/14/2014

It's cool and very humid out today, and that reminds me of the Pacific northwest where it always seems to be cool and damp. I converted several 'native' photos, which were taken out there, to sepia tones, and find that gives them a very authentic feel, like they were taken a hundred years ago. Now if I only knew how to make them look really old and worn along the edges.

There is an IPad ap that is called Photo Studio HD that does a really nive job of burned edges on a photo.

There are a lot of tutorials about how to do it with Photoshop, here is one :

Thanks. I checked it out, but the tutorial only shows what to do to get the effect I'm getting already. What I really wanted was how to make the edges of the photo worn and torn, etc.

One good thing - the tutorial did show me how to add a coloured frame to a photos, which is something I'd not been able to figure out yet in CS6. I think I really need to get myself a manual.

Have you looked at PicMonkey?

I think the effect you are after would mean you have to pay to use it......I use PicMonkey a lot to edit photos but I just use the free version.
I am considering paying to use the full version though.
