How do I apply Vintage Print online?
Open the Vintage Print preset, add your image or video, and adjust the loaded effect layers to suit your source. Preview the result before exporting.
What creates the vintage surface?
Levels and Curves reshape tone, noise and Threshold add breakup, and several Paper Scan layers build the surface. Transform introduces framing, and sharpening finishes the detail.
Why are there several Paper Scan layers?
They use different texture modes and settings, so each contributes a different part of the paper appearance. Toggle them individually to identify the surface you want to soften or keep.
How do I reduce the faded look?
Adjust the early Levels output range and the Curves layers. Then reduce paper opacity if the surface still veils the photograph too strongly.
How is it different from Vintage Poster?
Vintage Poster uses a more graphic combination of palette reduction, thermal mapping, and thresholding. Vintage Print focuses on aged photographic tones and layered scanned paper.
