I have always enjoyed messing about in photo editing software, so when I saw this tutorial several months ago, I was eager to try it. Well, either I didn't know then, what I know now, or I was willing to kind of branch out on my own a little more, and so, using Miss Emily Rose's tips on how to get a vintage look, this is what I came up with!
At first I kind of struggled because it wasn't a real tutorial, in the sense that Miss Emily Rose didn't give me step-by-step instructions. But, when I realized that, #1 My picture wasn't going to look like hers anyway, and #2 It didn't have to, I just had a lot of fun trying different things!
I did have a hard time with our scanner, though. We had to scan it onto my Dad's computer, and then he e-mailed me the crinkled paper scan. Unfortunately, you can't see it as well in the picture. Not as well as I would like.
Here are the before and after pictures.
I learned some cool things while doing this. I learned how to add fonts to my Photoshop Elements, which I am very excited about. I have about exhausted what came with the program.
I also downloaded a software called The Gimp. It sounds rather intimidating, doesn't it? Well, it kind of is! I am trying to figure out the whole "paths" thing, on it though, and it might take me a while.
So there you have it!
