Photo Aging Kit
Chapter 15 ■ Special Effects 187
Vendor: I.C.NET Software
Purpose: Make today’s photos look like they belonged to Grandpa, complete with stains
Description
Forget photo restoration; how about some photo destruction instead? Photo Aging Kit
lets you take a modern digital image and make it look a hundred years old or more. 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 filters to help you create the perfect ancient photo.
Comments
Fun, free, and capable of faking old photos with uncanny accuracy, Photo Aging Kit
will surely be used for both artistic and nefarious purposes. The only snag is that it
requires you to buy Filters Unlimited, the vendor’s general-purpose filter package.
