Proof3 Example
This photo was taken recently on an unexpected visit to Chase Creek in Clifton, Az. At one point in time this main street was very much alive and filled with thriving businesses and with people. As recent as this photo is, I wanted to demostrate some more Photoshop techniques that can be used to turn this into a photo that resembles an aged, worn photo that would seem as if it were taken 50 years ago.
Original
Edit #1- Retro Burn
Edit#2- Soft Sepia
As you can see both edits give two totally different perspectives and feelings- #1 is more of a retro high contrast and #2 is a soft sepia tone that is very popular for this effect. Depending on the useage I think both are very convincing and realistic.
