Before and After Thursday

I am having so much fun creating textures with old postcards, letters, and documents.  I'm thankful my study hasn't started to smell like a musty basement yet! 



I applied a levels adjustment and added the Aged Paper texture on a blending mode of linear light at an opacity of 71% to mute the hues of the photo.  Then for a vintage appeal I layered the Earl texture on a blending mode of multiply and kept the opacity at 100%. You can download the "Hall of Glasgow" screencast on the Screencast Page and follow along in Photoshop!
Find the set at my Etsy Shop!  Share your Before and Afters at Pixel Perfect's Blog Hop and your thankfulness at Thankful Thursday!

    This looks great! That's the one thing that makes me wish I had Photoshop instead of Lightroom... (unless I'm missing something & can do this in LR). Well done - thanks for sharing.

    Rebecca, you find the frames I used at cottagearts.net

    Mrs.H, I'm not sure if you can use textures in LR. I will ask around. You can use them in photoshop elements and any CS versions!

    Thanks everyone, your comments are the perfect ending to a great day!

    I really love what you've done here! I want to branch out and photograph things outside of people . .I do at times but it's mostly my son and family which is great but I'd love to do some things like this and experiment! I love the edits you use on your photos!
