In this tutorial, you will learn how to give a photo an aged look.
First open the photo you want to modify.
1. First, use Image >> Adjustments >> Desaturate (Ctrl+Shift+U)

2. Then, Filter >> Noise >> Add Noise and use the settings in the picture below.

3. Now use Filter >> Render >> Lighting Effects with the settings below.

4. Use Filter >> Texture >> Grain

5. Now, create a new layer (Ctrl+Shift+N), fill it with white, set Opacity(for this photo I used 21%, but you can try larger or smaller values)
6. Now create another layer, fill it with #999966(you can also try other colors) and set Opacity(I used 29%). And this is how it should look like: (You can also add other effects, such as torn edges or add some stains)
