GIMP tutorial – Make a photo look 100 years old (Sepia effect)

pixelmove.com

In this tutorial a portrait of President Obama wil be turned into a portrait that looks like it’s been taken a century ago. I’ll be using a script to render old rusted paper and sepia techniques to make the photo look old.

The image used I got from this website where you can find all info about it too.
