January 11, 2008, Newsletter Issue #98: New Technology Creates Old Look

Tip of the Week

Make your new pictures look old—in a good way! Another thing you can do with black and white digital photo and retouching software is play around with aging the photograph. To create this old illusion there are a variety of black and white digital effects at your disposal:

• Effects that can make the picture look grainy
• You can also fool around with the lights and darks to make the picture look washed out or faded
• You can blur the picture to match that old-world photo lens quality
