In this quick tutorial, I walk you through how to take a regular photo and make it look vintage.  Like it was taken in the 50's or 60's.  The steps are simple.  

Step one is to convert the image in a smart object by enabling smart filters.  Then we go to Filter -- Noise -- Add noise.  Add 25 - 35% for the effect to be noticeable.  

Next we create a new fill or adjustment layer - black and white.  Select this, then check the tint box.  Select the colour tint you'd like for the photo.  Try to go with a sepia / yellow / orange look for vintage style photos.  

Next, we add blur via a new adjustment layer - blur - gaussian blur.  Try it with a 3.0 radius or so to start.  

Finally, we add an adjustment layer - brightness / contrast.  Adjust the brightness / contrast as you see fit.  That's it!
