JennyBee Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Hi Damien, 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!

Damien Symonds Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 You've done a good job. But for kicks, can you try something for me? Turn off all your layers for now, so you're back to the SOOR. Then add a Channel Mixer adjustment layer, and check the "Monochrome" checkbox. Enter 0, 0, +100, 0 for the four values. This will turn the photo black-and-white. Then lower the opacity of that layer to your taste (I found that about 60% is good). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennyBee Posted July 24, 2016 Author Share Posted July 24, 2016 Thank you! 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
