Retro Paper Photo Effect

It's your photo rewritten by time. This effect makes your design wear the years like a well-loved book, with softened edges, faded ink, and a texture that feels almost touchable. The grain creeps in just right, the colors shift with the weight of nostalgia, and every detail looks like it has a story to tell. Two high-quality PSD files (portrait and landscape) make it easy to apply, with Smart Object layers for quick customization.

From now on, any of your art retouch projects can become a timeless gem. The same is true for editorial pieces, album art, or book covers, as this effect easily brings the past into the present — flawed, beautiful, and full of character.

This resource is created, and fully compatible with Adobe Photoshop. For the best experience, we recommend to use the latest Creative Cloud version of the app.
