How Do You Add a Vintage Effect in Photoshop?

Last updated on September 23, 2022 @ 10:15 pm

There are many ways that you can add a vintage effect to your photos in Photoshop. One way is to use the ‘Overlay’ blending mode. To do this, first create a new layer and fill it with black. Then, go to the ‘Layer’ menu and select ‘Layer Style.’ Click on the ‘Blending Options’ tab and select ‘Overlay’ from the drop-down menu. You can also add a vintage effect by using the ‘Hue/Saturation’ Adjustment Layer.

PRO TIP: If you are not familiar with Photoshop, or if you are new to using the software, you may want to avoid using the “vintage” effect. This effect can be difficult to control, and it may not produce the results you are hoping for.

To do this, go to the ‘Layer’ menu and select ‘New Adjustment Layer.’ Select ‘Hue/Saturation’ from the drop-down menu. In the ‘Hue/Saturation’ dialogue box, move the ‘Hue’ slider to the left to add a yellowish tint to your photo, or move it to the right to add a bluish tint. You can also experiment with the other settings in this dialogue box to get different effects. Another way to add a vintage effect is to use a texture overlay. You can find many free texture overlays online, or you can create your own by scanning in old paper or fabric. To use a texture overlay, simply place it over your photo and change the blending mode to ‘Overlay.’
