Well, I have gotten a little bored around here lately, so I decided to find a couple of screenshots and see what I could do to make them look "vintage". Here's a couple of the Wright Flyer I found while searching.

What do you people think?

Excellent, but just a little constructive critisism: Try making the pics a little more "speckly", and don't put so much blur on. A very small amount more red in the pic wouldn't go amiss. Also, there is not quite enough contrast in the first one.

Hope that helps a bit Ender,

1)I added noise to it
2)turned up the red, and blue
3)I turned up the contrast

I also wanted to make a crumpled and torn effect, but I couldnt find out how to do it (I have only had adobe for about a week and a hald so far )

LOL, I havnt seen that one yet, you must have gone back quite a ways?

That's more like it Michael, well done. Ender, if you compare that with yours, you will see slightly more noise/speckles & less green/blue.

Brilliant editing both of you, well done Wink

I'll have to have a go at this Grin

I just did a search for the Wright Flyer and hoped for the best. Got several images, but these two are the best. I can't remember the author, so if anyone wants to lay claim to them, they are welcome to it.

I just want to see how out editing skills match up:

EDIT: Yeah, mine suck . . . Roll Eyes

That's pretty good! What did you do, and with what program?

I've been using PSP 8.0 recently, but it just doesn't make a good edited shot.

Thanks Ender Wink

I used Photoshop 7 to add a little bit of speckle and increase the amount of red in the image. PSP 8 should be able to do the same sort of thing if you know how. I, unfortunately, don't, so you will have to find it out Roll Eyes
