Sometimes it’s cool to make a photo look a little older to give it a slight retro feel.

I absolutely love this tutorial. You did a fantastic job on it. I enjoyed your other tutorials as well. Keep up the amazing work and I’ll be sure to pass this site around.
Your tutorials are so nice. I love the way they are presented, as well. I wish some other tutorial sites took tips from you.
@ Ben: Thank you so much for the nice comment! I’m very happy that you liked it and the other ones. I most certainly will keep it up!

hi! i just happened to come across your tutorials and i absolutely love it! good job! :]
i love vintage and retro effects so i definitely love this one. thanks for the tutorial. I was wondering though if you knew what effect they used to create the colors of the original photo you used. ‘coz i’ve been looking for a tutorial for that.
thanks so much! :]
@Sam: Hey! Thanks for commenting! And thanks for your kind words. It looks as if it was just warmed up a bit perhaps with a photo filter. I can make a tutorial for you later today.
Kelly Anne, I’ve just spent a very happy hour exploring all your totally fab tutorials – flipping heck you are one clever girl and so kind to share your ideas with us!!! They are so easy to follow, especially for people like me who’ve just got photoshop (pressie from hubby) but don’t have a flipping clue how to use it lol!
I was all excited and geared up to have a go at altering some of my photo’s but then noticed that your photoshop is different to mine
I have something called Elements 4. So for example, don’t have the “channels panel” on mine.
Are there any of your tutorials that I could use with my version?
Sorry this is so long, and thanks in advance for any help you could offer a PS-virgin like me!!!

Hey, I really love your tutorial but I wonder if you can reverse this procedure because I was editing a picture to make it retro, however I forgot to save it as a copy, so I was wondering if you could help me out? It would be greatly appreciated because I can’t find the original picture anymore. Thanks in advance!
