:butterfly: QUICK PHOTOSHOP TUTORIAL: VINTAGE STYLE :butterfly:

So many people have asked me for some tips on creating a classy vintage-styled photograph. I've put together a small tutorial on the main tips, but there are MANY more. I'll touch on these now, as I couldn't fit them in the tutorial above.

:star: Create a classic lighting to your vintage photo. Click on Filter > Render > Lighting Effects. Choose Omni or Spotlight, and change the directions to create what you want.
:star: Image > Adjustments > Photo Filter can be a great tool to use when you really want to speed up the process. It can make your picture have a soft warm light, or a cold harsh blue light to it.
:star: Filter > Texture > Grain is interesting to play with, but not always necessary. It'll make a photo look like it's from the 1800s though (if it's black and white). A bad quality look can still look amazing.
:star: Brightness/Contrast, and Curves can help your vintage colours stand out, so don't forget to play with them too.
:star: Duplicate your image, and click in the layers window and choose different types of Light. I always use Soft Light, and you can do the same with a "New Layer" and a pretty colour on top of your picture. Don't forget about the opacity though, mine's set to 20% usually.

If anyone is stuck with photoshop and needs help, I'm always answering every note I get, so feel free to note or comment.

I think. You must be a pie. From pie de la lune. I can sense it. It is in the air. Because of diffusion. Which is a very interesting process. The muffins are attacking. Winged crayons, attack.

Come to me, adversaries. It is tea time.
