Vintage Grunge Photoshop Tutorial

This tutorial was written in CS3. Hope you enjoy it!!! And be sure to show me what you create!! I love seeing it!!!

Begin by opening up your photo and converting it to

a layer (rather than leaving it as a background).

Simply right click on your photo in your layers

palette and choose Layer From Background.




Duplicate your photo layer. Right click on the

photo in your layers palette and choose Duplicate.

Click on your bottom layer and go up to
IMAGE> DESATURATE.

This should leave your bottom layer as a black and

white photo and your top layer as an original

colored photo.



Click on your top color layered and change your

blend mode to OVERLAY.




Duplicate your colored photo layer (which is still

set to overlay). You now have a bottom layer that

is black and white and two layers on top of that

both set to overlay.

Click on your top layer. Go to IMAGE>BLACK AND

WHITE.
Click the TINT box so that there is a green check

and change your tint settings to:
Hue: 42
Saturation: 15
Click OK



Reduce the opacity on your new sepia toned layer

(the top layer) to approx. 70% and check to make

sure that the blend mode is still set on Overlay.



We have now created a grungy vintage colored photo

but we still want to add the grunge edge.

Merge all your photo layers into. Right click on

the top layer and choose MERGE VISIBLE.

Right click on the merged image and choose BLEND

OPTIONS (or another way to do this is to click on

your "FX" button at the bottom of your layers

palette).

Once your effects palette has opened choose
INNER GLOW and change your settings to:
Blend mode: Multiply
Opacity: 90
Noise: 0
Solid Color chosen and choose a dark brown or black

Softer
Edge
Choke: 0
Size: 130

Range: 50
Jitter: 50


Click OK



You now have a grunge edge photo! Happy

Scrapping!!!
