Hey all,

I’m putting together a photogallery of my friends and family and all that but I’ve decided to theme them to an aged photograph with scratches, making em look about 100+ years old. How do I MAKE scratches because all I seem to be able to find in photoshop is to remove them. I think Abobe should have foreseen that if people want to improve photographs, they’d want to artistically destroy them too.

Whats the most realistic effects for aging/scratching/dusting photos in Photoshop CS?

Any ideas?
