Step One: Open up any picture you want to use. I'm gonna use a timey picture of Super Junior's Kyuhyun. Don't worry, this can also be used on modern pictures also.



Step Two: Make a new layer, fill it with 0ff4fc with your fill tool, set the blending mode to Lighten, & the opacity to 38%.



Step Three: Make another layer, fill it with 620ac5, set the blending mode to Soft Light, & the opacity to 61%.



Step Four: Yet again make another layer, fill it with ad9616, set the blending mode to Linear Burn, & the opacity to 36%.



Step Five: Go back to your original layer & go to >Filter, Sharpen, Smart Sharpen.(It's actually optional, it just gives the picture a worn-out old effect.) Apply the following:



Your image should now look something like this:

Step Six: Merge your layers together by right-clicking on any layer & choosing the option "Merge Visible". Now go to >Filter, Distort, Lens Correction. Set it to the following:
Fix Red/Cyan Fringe: -46
Fix Blue/Yellow Fringe: -25
Amount: -38
Midpoint: +2

Should look like this:

Step Seven: Add a worn-out paper kind of texture. This is the one I used: Resize it to fit your picture & set the blending mode to Soft Light, & the opacity somewhere from 38 to 52 percent, I used 38%.



Step Eight: Merge your layers again & add a new layer. Fill it with 000000, set the blending mode to Color, & the opacity to 33%. Flatten you image & your done! Add a border or anything you like. XDDD
