photoshop tuto_ making a photo looks old

Hello everyone!
In this tutorial, I'm going to show you how to age a photo using simple tools.
So I'm going to start to open a new image

Now, I'm going to creat a new file.

Try to set the width and the length of the new file less then the other image.

Click the Clone stamp tool

Click somewhere in the new image with your right mouse button and set the brush as "DP Flower"

Try to set the brush size to match 60% of the new page, So it will be something like the photo above.

Now go to the first photo and (left click +alt) in the middle of the picture. In my case I clicked in the middle of the river.

Make sure you don't have this kind of errors. Try to set the selection point (using alt+left click ) in the middle of the page. for more accuracy you can check out your propriety panel and determine the exact position of the middle of the image.

Go back to the new page and grap the brush tool all over the photo but leave the corner a little empty.

Next step: Go to the Window menu and select "adjustment "

Choose "Minus 1.0" from "Exposure Presets".

Set the setting as above or you can change it as your likes. you will notice that the exposure help us to bring more light to the photo.

the adjustment panel help us to manipulate light, contrast, colors areas and a lot of other things.
we can notice that the image looks more like a paint, So let's add a text signature

 Set the color as black or gray or whatever you like, then position the text in the bottom near the right edge.

you can manipulate it as you want.

You can make it a Warp text. I chose the Rise style.

Finally, select the text layer and decrease its Opacity and Fill settings.

Thank you for your attention.
See you in my next tutorial.
