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.

[GIMPtricks]

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]

I 'ave a French accente? Reely?

[GIMPtricks]

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

*faints*

Thank you so much for an excellent tutorial. I wanted to make a Wild West "Wanted" poster for a friend's birthday party and needed to give his photo an aged effect and this tutorial was perfect. Thanks again, you're a star!

I started to watch your videos so I could learn using GIMP - it's nice that I can learn something from you :)

I keep wondering why haven't you exlained the reason behind colorizing picture - I think it's kind of simple. And also one thing about colorizing: you used prepared proportions for changing images colors. Why haven't you change it on-air while explaining why it should be like that?

She really has an accent from Holland, not an insult but most people of the Netherlands most of the time can't speak with a good French accent, that's more something for Flemish people.

btw, thanks for the great tutorials 'GIMPtricks'! It rlly helped me!

[Temudjin Khan]

Nice but now you can do the same tuto with a picture of Ron Paul for Liberty ! ;)
