How do you get that vintage look in photography?
HighContrast asked:
I started getting serious with my photography about a year or two ago and after seeing a lot of the photos posted on deviant-art I noticed how a lot of them have this sort of vintage, faded quality but still contain enough color and don’t end up turning out yellowy like mine do. Does anyone have any tips as to how to get this effect or what kind of photo editing program I might need?

Just answered a similar question. Here:
If you want them to look faded but still have color, just desaturate the image. This is extremely easy to do in Picasa (download it for free from Google). You can also add film grain in Picasa, and that will definitely give you the old feel that you’re looking for.
Convert your photo to sephia brown. That is more than vintage. Their are good effects in Photoshop to give it the aged look although I prefer Adobe InDesign.
I think doing this with PhotoShop CS3 is easy.
Hoping that you know how to work with layers.

Adobe Lihgtroom has a pre-set option to allow you to do this, it is called ‘Antique’
