VintageScene - Mac Info

The interface for Mac is very simple. The way to start is to either drag and drop your image onto the main window or choose the "Get Photo" button to load your image. On the right panel is where you adjust your picture to look unique. "Style" is where you will pick the general look as well as a variety of presets to choose from. "Adjust" is where you can fine tune the controls and customize the settings. "Overlay" is used to add that 'old' look to your photos and "Borders" is used to add an old photo border or postcard edge to your image. If you hit the "Dice" button on the upper right it will randomly pick a preset and apply it to your image. This is the fastest way to see what Vintage Scene looks like applied to your photo. Of course the presets (Styles) are just a start, adjusting the controls will give you a lot of power in order to get your own unique and custom looks. After playing with the controls and you like what you have created go to the "File" menu and choose "Save Preset" to save your unique look or "Save" to save it to your computer. By saving a preset this will allow you to apply it to other photographs or to adjust it at a future date. To retreive your saved preset go to "Style" and look for it amongst the other presets.

1. Get Photo or Drag & Drop Photo

Once you have launched the app click on the camera icon to "Get Photo" - a standard dialog window will come up - use this to navigate to the place you store your pictures on your computer. The easiest way to open a photo is to first open your picture folder then drag and drop the images on to Vintage Scene.

2. Change Style / Presets

On the right panel you will find two horizontal buttons labeled "Vintage Scene" and "Antique Photo" by clicking on them you to switch between the two effect styles. When an effect is choosen, preset thumbnails can be found below. By default the "VintageScene" presets are applied to the first photo. To change the appearance of the effect choose one of the thumbnails on the bottom or use the "Adjust" button to customize the preset settings.

Presets are predetermined attributes applied to your photo and can be modified later by going to the "Adjust" button. To save a custom preset use the "Save" button then "Save Preset". To delete a preset, use the edit button found on the lower left corner of the Vintage Scene or Antique Photo preset menu.

3. Adjust

The attributes of any preset can be adjusted to give Vintage Scene or Antique Photo a customized look. To bring up the controls go to the "Adjust" icon on top of the right panel.

Below written in green text is an explanation for each control slider.

4. Overlay Textures / Borders

Overlay Textures are distressed papers that will give your photo a tattered and grungy look. Borders can be added to the effect following an overlay. If you use a border and want to retain the transparency in the area around it save your photo as a .png. A border saved as a .jpg will not be transparent and will apply white in the area around the border.
