I cropped the city backdrop to a section I liked, duplicated the layer and then desaturated the new layer.

I cut out the car from the source. It actually got added to the project to cover up the touristy looking lady on the right in the city source :) . I added a 2.5px gaussian blur to the car and 4.89% noise to match the background a little better

For the light, I copied the hoods over the lights into a new layer, flipped them and moved them to the other side. I merged that result and moved it onto the post from the lamp source. After combining them, I scaled it to fit the surroundings, another 2.5px gaussian blur and 4.89% noise were applied to the whole to blend. We will do the same for both men and give then the same treatment.

Add a hue adjustment layer and move the men into position

Hue: 30
Saturation: 25
Lightness: 0

Now that Ive broken down how to do it manually, I will add that CS4 has a default action that will sepia tone a photo. The preceding steps are what it does. While it does certainly make things faster, be sure to put the additional elements below the hue adjustment layer.

Now were going to add the texture to the photo. I found 2 paper textures, but neither was quite right...so I took them both. Old Paper 1 was added in a new layer and the blending mode was changed to Linear Burn. Old Paper 2 also has its' own layer with a blending mode of Overlay.

At this point, I saved the project as a jpg and reopened it in a new project. As an alternative, you could simply merge visible layers, but doing it this way preserves your layers in case you want to go back and change something.

Once in the new project, I scaled the photo to 90%. Using a rectangular marquee tool, I made a selection just inside the border of our photo, then selected inverse so that it just catches the edges of our photo. Now apply a gaussian blur of 8px to help it blend with what is going to become our border.

Now make an empty layer below our photo and fill it with #d9d9d9. We just want a little dinge. Add both paper textures in new layers between the photo and the border layers with the same blending modes used in step 5 and make whatever adjustments are needed to match the creases in the photo.

Add a text layer. The font is a Windows font called Segoe Script, anti aliasing set to smooth, at 48pt. Then set the blend mode for the text layer to dissolve. Color is #46301b.

Thanks for reading my tutorial, I hope you enjoyed it.
