Last updated on January 26, 2023 @ 8:57 am

There are a few different ways that you can make something look old in Photoshop. One way is to change the color of the object to make it look like it is fading.

Another way is to add scratches or other marks to the object to make it look like it has been used. Finally, you can add a vignette around the object to make it look like it is old and worn.

3. Go to Image > Adjustments > Hue/Saturation.
4. Drag the Hue slider to the left or right to change the color of the object.
5. Drag the Saturation slider to the left to make the color more faded.
6. Drag the Lightness slider to the left or right to make the object darker or lighter.
7. Click OK.
