The memories of yesteryears invoke in us a sense of nostalgia as we long for the days gone by when life seems so much simpler.

In reference to creating vintage and antique photo effects, we want to achieve the elusive ‘light leak’ effect…
The ‘light leak’ effect is a partial bleaching or lightening of the image plane caused by a leak of light at exposure, development, printing, or uneven fading of the image in the aging or weathering process. A light leak layer is included in the Vintage Multiple choice workflow action.
To read a concise tutorial on creating the faded - light leaking look try this tutorial by Wharf 8
Now comes the toning of the image. Again, I used the curves layer to adjust the reds, blues and yellows as well as to slightly fade the image.
If you’d like the Golden Touch in your light leaking adventures – buy the texture set:

Vintage Soft Color Photoshop Action

Vintage Soft Color Photoshop Action
The vintage soft color action will gently desaturate your image with a soft chocolate antique shadows. Expect a slightly darker mid-tone from the results. The desaturation method used is not like desaturation slider as it does not operate equally across the spectrum of colors. Great style for any photo subject. Action operates in LAB color mode.
