Description I started that tutorial since i always was fascinated by how old photos look like. I think they are so much dark and goth, aren't they? Unfortunately i hadn't much time to do a tutorial for beginners, so this one is for advanced users (where advanced means you have to know to work with layers, erasers, colorization, etc.)
The goal is to create an image and to give it a daguerreotype (or daguerrotipe) final look, in short it's the old photo style
I started from a blurred image, not so quality, for a photographer it should be just trash, but for a photomanipulator it's the beginning of an adventure...and there we go

For the branches background you can use a fractal program, it will be fine to make your own wood

The tutorial is good for many programs like Photoshop CS2, CorelDraw12 and 13, PaintShop Pro, Photopaint.


I hope you'll find it useful

I will use that tutorial as soon as possible, you created very cool scene in few step tatlim, i think its very useful for low quality or little size images.
I'm sure people will improve their skill with that tutorial. I liked so much the result

thanks to appreciate that technique. I think that way to create old style photos it's quick and very close to the original look.
Mostly i wanted to show how to save a bad quality photo, reusing it to make a new scene. With the same technique it's possible to do other cool effects.... you have just to spread out your creativity bebeskum
