Aged Photo
With this tutorial I am going to show you one of the ways I use to give a photo a vintage, aged look.
I am starting with this 2MP stock photo of a mannequin.
1. First of all we are going to desaturate the photo. Go to Image -> Adjustments -> Desaturate or just press Ctrl+Shift+U.
2. Then we are going to add some noise to our photo. Go to Filter -> Noise -> Add Noise and use these settings (If your photo is very large you may need to add some more noise)
3. Go to Filter -> Render -> Lighting Effects. Here are the settings I used.

Sorry Brandy, I can’t think of a possible reason that can cause the lighting effects filter not to work other than a corrupted installation of Photoshop.
