Hello,

Does anyone have any tips for aging prints? What I mean is you know how a print on shirts after years of wear and washings it start to crack? I want to have that effect on a picture.

Thanks,

hi,
first of all there a lot of tutorials on aging a photograph.. also the kind of photographs for example those old poloids.. smiling .. there many on those....

to me it not just the cracks but dust, color shift or color change, lack of sharpness, etc.

if you look at a old picture notice the individual things that makes it look old and damage then you can duplicte that in your photoshop...

now below is a couple of tutorials that goes into making things look old....

Thanks but I'm not looking for picture aging. I'm looking for T-Shirt print aging type effects. You know when the print gets stretched too much that the fabric under is seen.

*I can probably put an actual pic of what I want to mimic up later, My cousin has the shirt so I'll need to get a picture from him.*

Found a pic online so I don't need to ask him
I'm looking for something like the upper F&MC effect. I tried using the eraser tool to mimic it but is seems to lack something.



[edit]Found a cheap way of editing it. I made a circle from the C and used it as a clipping mask it works but looks messy. If anyone knows a better way please inform me.
Thanks[/edit]
