This week during 20% time I found a photoshop tutorial called Old Movie Effect. This tutorial did just that, it turned an ordinary picture into a picture from the past. The first thing that I did was go to Flickr and choose a picture that was creative commons. Then I uploaded it to Photoshop.

Next, I desaturated the picture, this took all the color from it.

Next, I applied a 1pixel of Gaussian Blur to the picture.

Lastly, I added Grain to the picture which gave it lines vertically.
