Learn how to make a Vintage Old Photo Effect in Photoshop. The trick is to give a sepia color to the photo using a gradient map. This way, the sepia color will be applied to a separate layer so it doesn't spoil your original photo. The last step is to change the gradient map's blend mode from normal to color.
Final result.
Step 1: Open Photo
Select menu File>Open to open your photo. In the Open window, click the photo of your choice and then click the Open button.
Step 2: Create a Gradient Map
Select menu Layer> New Adjustment Layer> Gradient Map. The New Layer dialog box will appear. Give a name for the gradient map layer to be created. I will fill in the name Vintage then click the OK button.
Step 3: Select Sepia Color (dark brown)
After creating a gradient map, a properties box for the gradient map will appear. Click the edit gradient drop down menu (see picture circled in blue) to display the gradient editor.
In the gradient editor click Preset Black to White. Click the color stop slider on the bottom left then click change color to call the color picker.
In the color picker choose brown or you can enter the code #ca8f31. Click OK. At this point the color of your photo should have changed to sepia.
