Basic Filters used to create Vintage Photo

‍

There are many ways to make a photo look vintage, but one of the most popular is to use a filter. Several different filters can be used to create this effect, but some of the most commonly used include Instagram's Nashville filter and VSCO's A6 preset.

‍

To use these filters, open up your photo on Instagram or VSCO and select the desired filter. Once applied, your photo will instantly have a vintage look. To further customize the effect, you can experiment with different editing techniques, such as increasing the contrast or adding a vignette.

Adding a Filter: How to add a filter for a vintage look 

You can add a filter for a vintage look to your photos in a few different ways. One way is to download a vintage photo filter app on your phone or tablet. Many different apps are available, so be sure to read the reviews before downloading one. Another way to add a vintage look to your photos is to edit them using Photoshop or another photo editing program.

‍

If you're unfamiliar with Photoshop, plenty of tutorials are available online. You can always create your vintage photo filters if you want to go the DIY route. One way to do this is by placing a sheet of yellow tissue paper over your camera's lens. This will give your photos a yellow tint often associated with old photographs.

Making Adjustments: How to adjust the levels for a vintage look

When you want to add a vintage look to a photo, you can do a few key things to make it happen:

‍

1. Adjust the levels so that the photo is darker overall. This will give it an aged look.

2. Increase the contrast to make the colors pop more. This will give the image more depth and dimension.

3. Add a bit of grain or noise to the photo to give it an authentic vintage feel.

Finishing Touches: How to add final touches to make the photo look complete

When you're done editing a photo to give it a vintage look, you can add a few final touches to make the image pop. First, try adding a vignette. This is a classic finishing touch that helps to frame the subject of the photo and draw attention to the center. To do this, darken the photo's edges using an editing program. 

‍

Another way to make a vintage photo stand out is by adding a border. This can be done in Photoshop or another editing program, and there are plenty of tutorials online if you need help getting started. A simple black or white border can make an old-fashioned image look complete. Finally, remember the text! Adding a short phrase or quote to your photo can give it a different personality.

Process of Making a Photo look Vintage in Fotor

‍

Fotor's Vintage Effect allows you to turn your photos into beautiful, unique works of art with a button click. Here's how it works: 

Choose a photo

When you think of vintage photos, you might think of black and white images with people dressed in clothes from a different era. But you can also make a more recent photo look vintage with the proper editing techniques. 

‍

• To start, choose a photo that you want to edit. You can select a photo from your computer, phone, or social media accounts. Then, use an editing program to apply some of the following effects: 

• First, try increasing the contrast and brightness. This will give the photo a more aged look. Next, add a vignette around the edges of the image. This will help focus attention on the center of the photo. Finally, consider adding a sepia tone for an even more vintage feel. 

• With just a few clicks, you can turn a modern photo into something that looks like it was taken many years ago. 

‍

Edit the photo

You can do a few things to make a photo look vintage. Crop, rotate, and adjust the brightness, contrast, and saturation to get the perfect effect. You can also add a vignette or border for extra effect.

Apply the effect

To create a vintage look in your photos, start by choosing the right filter. Fotor's Vintage filters are perfect for giving your photos that retro feel. Select the Vintage filter of your choice and apply it to your photo. You can also adjust the effect's strength to get the right look.  Once you've applied the Vintage filter, look at the other options in the left-hand menu and experiment with different effects until you're happy with your results.

Download and share

To give your photo that old-timey feel, try sharing it as a physical print instead of just posting it online. You can use a service like Moo to print your photos on quality paper with a vintage feel. Or, for a DIY approach, you can buy some cardstock and use a printer at home to print out your photos.

‍

Once you have your prints, you can cut them into different shapes or add embellishments like stickers or washi tape. Once you're happy with your creation, download it to your computer or share it directly on Facebook or Twitter!
