Photoshop fun: Real photo (fake photo)
(Click photo to see it without blog’s frame style)
Digital photograph made to look hand-developed from film
Film grain effect on photo = slight. 2 grain; 0 highlight area; 1 intensity
Black rectangle one layer down, used for border
Paper = one shade darker than white. 0.2% noise, gaussian, monocromatic
Drop shadow = 40% opacity; 1px distance; 25% spread; 4px size
Photo itself and frame both rotated -0.2% and set off-center
Tested roughing up the edges of the paper but was a little distracting
It’s also incredibly easy to swap in other photos:
