Photoshop fun: Real photo (fake photo)

Real photo (fake photo)

(Click photo to see it without blog’s frame style)

Digital photograph made to look hand-developed from film

Film grain effect on photo = slight. 2 grain; 0 highlight area; 1 intensity

Black rectangle one layer down, used for border

Paper = one shade darker than white. 0.2% noise, gaussian, monocromatic

Drop shadow = 40% opacity; 1px distance; 25% spread; 4px size

Photo itself and frame both rotated -0.2% and set off-center

It’s also incredibly easy to swap in other photos:
