GIMP tutorial - Make a photo look 100 years old (Sepia effect)

In this tutorial a portrait of President Obama wil be turned into a portrait that looks like it's been taken a century ago. I'll be using a script to render old rusted paper and sepia techniques to make the photo look old.

The image used I got from this website where you can find all info about it too.

every time i try to insert the rusted paper script it gives me errors saying my gimp is messed up ....noise.exe something. i have added the scrip just as u explained ,, can u pls help?

[GIMPtricks]

@dinda78 I have no idea. Sound like something with your GIMP install.

Go to gimpchat (dot) com and ask if they know what to do.

I've just got to say that you are AMAZING for putting all these together! I love it when someone decides to help out their fellow human beings. For the record, to all those naysayers, she has a beautiful voice, that accent is infectious. I saw that you're from the Netherlands, but I hear a great deal of French in your accent; are you fluent in French as well as Dutch?

[GIMPtricks]

@Roflzberries I 'ave a French accente? Reely?

[GIMPtricks]

@ipodmail I am? Shock horror!!! When did that sex change happen?!

*faints*

@TheZembas

You don't ask a woman what her age is! ;)

[rocjcg]

is there a way that we can put a outline or like a glow type thing around the cut out of Obama or any other cutout that we have ??????

[yellowcardsoccer]

I'm beginning to love that accent, this channel is amazing.

[QuadJunkies]

I coudlnt get past Script-fu ?

I couldnt find anything when I clicked that tab that said anything to select rusted paper ?

[skyrim9000]

get Photoshop

[Leafeonsenergydrink]

Not that ii don't LOVE this, But...I think there's an easier way: -Use that script and merge. -Insert the photo -Cut around it -Blur the edges -Make another paper, -make sure the other two layers aren't visable -merge the paper -turn the opacity down on the picture you are trying to sepia - turn the opacity down on the top paper -blur the picture
