I've added the monochrome layer and a levels layer to bring down the contrast a little. I also added a slight pink color layer to his cheeks because the original has that on it. How does this look?
I'm trying to achieve this vintage look (sorry for the poor phone pic). I've attached my original photo and my sad attempt at editing it. I'm also not sure how to get the background darker. Thanks so much for anything you can do to help!
