| Notes and Tips: |
 |
You may also want to try two effects accessed by choosing Effects > Artistic Effects: 1) The Aged Newspaper effect creates a brownish, old newspaper look; or 2) The Halftone effect applies a newspaper photo halftone dot pattern look. |
|
Since colors in aged photos tend to be less saturated, you may want to perform Step 2 above regardless of what other photo aging method you use. |
