could you do another layer for a non-uniform fade effect to add to the illusion of older photo (on the other hand PVC clothing didn't exist back then either)
you're going to have to show me how you do this. I might be doing the vintage look for maleficent's site. I xan do it fine to a certain degree though..
How do you get the creases in the pic? Airbrush tool?
First I colourise the picture, then set the background to white and increace the canvas size to get some "elbow room" around the edge. I cloned out an Organix poster that was behind them because while Rebekah's PVC could pass for leather and satin, a neopsychadelic-fractal techo-poster wasn't working at all. Then I rounded the corners and made the edges look worn with one of the irregular brushes. The creaces are drawn on with the painbrush tool with a couple of the stock angled brush shapes and the pressure turned down to about 40%. The I select the white around the edge with the magic wand set to about a 10% tolerance, invert the selection and cut out the picture. I repaint the the background to pure white with the paintbucket set to 100% tolerance, paste the image back as a new layer and add a shallow drop shadow to make it look like something on paper that has been scanned.
I've done other more involved ones where I have bothered to add photographer's marks, grain, irregular fading, stains and the like, but that all takes longer.
