this tutorial will show you how to turn a normal picture and make it look like an old, vintage photo.
i know another vintage photo effect. but, don't worry you'll enjoy this one. ;)
01. open your image
i'm using shia labeouf because he is gorgeous!
02. choose 'create new adjustment layer' icon on the bottom of the layers palette. from the pop-up menu, choose 'hue/saturation'

03. turn on 'colorize' in the dialog box. move the sliders to desired tint.

you should have something like this:

04. select the background layer. click on the 'create new layer' icon on the bottom of the layers palette.
05. fill it with white by pressing d, then press ctrl-backspace. on macs press, command-delete.
06. choose filter > texture > grain.
change the grain type to 'vertical' and input desired values.

07. change the blend mode to 'multiply'.
this is what you should have now:

08. click 'add layer mask' icon on the bottom of the layers palette.
09. choose filter > render > clouds.
then press control-f (command-f for macs)
10. add a new layer. change the fill to 50%
11. click edit > fill.
from the drop-down menu choose '50% gray'.

12. choose filter > noise > add noise.
turn on 'monochromatic'

13. change the blend mode to 'hard light'.
and you're done!
