Question from Jenny: “How do you take an image and make it look like a 1950s photograph with color”

David:  Google ‘photo painting photoshop’ or whatever other keyword you need, most topics already have a website or youtube video for the how-to

Denise:  I had paintshop photo pro. it was so great for that

Melissa: depends on the program…Corel has a photo effects setting under ‘effects’. There you can change the contrast or color as well as setting to how much of the effect you want

Kayleigh: Try coffee shop actions, she has a ton of good, free vintage actions to choose from

Heather: If you have lightroom, there are presets that serve this function.

Leesa: I use Tiffen, has lots of vintage choices.

Jenny:  thank you everyone
