Photo Aging Kit
Many people try to restore old photographs to make them look new; others want to make new photos look old. Here's a package that does the latter. Developed in Germany, Photo Aging Kit lets you take a modern digital image and make it look a hundred years old, or more.
With Photo Aging Kit you can add a crumpled effect, stains, blotches, coffee cup rings, dust, dirt, scratches and old-looking photo edges. If the color, saturation and sharpness from your DSLR are too good (as they certainly will be) you can adjust them to make them substantially worse. There are 16 different filters to help you create the perfect ancient photo.
Comment
Fun, free, and capable of faking old photos with uncanny accuracy, Photo Aging Kit will surely be used for both artistic and nefarious purposes.
Unfortunately, it requires you to buy Filters Unlimited, the vendor's general purpose filter package, a fact that adds some expense to an otherwise FREE offering.
Fortunately, Filters Unlimited is not unduly expensive -- and is very good value as our mini-review (see that page) explains.
