Vintage Paint Effect

Built for mood and memory, this vintage paint effect brings a cinematic stillness to your images. Subtle brushwork, tactile textures, and a muted palette combine to give portraits and landscapes the softness of hand-tinted archival prints. The finish is romantic, but not overly polished — like a photograph rescued from a forgotten drawer and lovingly reimagined in oils.

The effect includes 2 high-resolution PSD files — vertical and horizontal — with Smart Object layers. Use it for fashion campaigns, book covers, heritage packaging, moodboards, wedding portraits, travel diaries, character studies, or stylized social content. It works especially well with natural light, soft contrast, and a little negative space.

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.
