Hi, my name is Jimmy Lick from Joyriders TV Productions, and today I'm going to teach you how to use the antiquing method in Photoshop. First thing we're going to do is open up our image and open up our texture that we're going to be using on top of the image. So, if you can go up to file, go down to open and then grab an old paper texture and the image that you want to use. You can open up both of those and the first thing you want to go, do is go to the texture image and duplicate that onto the image that you want to use. So, just go to background, right click up to duplicate layer; go down and use this document. Press okay. We now go over to our image and it's right there for us. So, we're going to resize this, control T is the command that I'll be using and you can just enlarge this by holding down shift, it gives us the same ratio. And then, you can just move this over just a little bit, so press enter. And you want to change the blending mode to overlay and that will just give you a texture feel on top of the regular image and we can duplicate this a couple of times, just brightens it up a little bit. We'll also duplicate the original photo and we're going to take the original and turn that off. The next step we're going to do is just kind of play with all of these; I'm going to make it black and white and then add some sepia tone to it and that gives it more of an antique feel. So, let's go down to the adjustment layer, go to black and white and we'll add one more and there'll be a photo filter or we can make sure this is color and the density just a little bit, probably up to 50, yeah, that looks good. And I'm using this mask or, here we go, using this mask we can take out whatever we want; it's a little bit too much on the outside. So, I'm going to lower my brush size down to about 30 percent. The next step that I'm going to do is just to kind of go around the edges of this photo just to take out some of the texture. Here we go, that looks pretty good. And actually, I want to then touch the second one so it looks good enough. The last step that we want to do is actually add a vignette on the outside of the photo. So, I'll make a new layer, make sure that my gradient tool is on and it's black and white and then actually, you want to make sure it starts from left to right, white to black. So, we'll reverse this, and there it is and that's good. So, we'll start in the middle, I want you to hold down shift and drag out 45 degree all the way out, that creates your vignette and we will overlay this. Here we go. And that's pretty good right there. So, again, you can mess with this as much as you want, put as much effort into as you need to. But, those are the basic steps to make antique photo. So, the last thing you want to do is go to file, save as and re-save your document. That's pretty much it. I'm Jimmy Lick from Joyriders TV Productions, thank you for watching.
