How does this look

Does this look like a photo I found in an old chest?

Kind of... get an airbrush (or airbrudh tool on photoshop) and white blue the edges a bit.... that'll do it.

Add some grain.. lower saturation. copy and paste the layer, set opacity to 10, add Gaussian blur then more it about 10 Pixels up.. maybe..

Needs a tad more contrast too IMO!

Getting there. What the others said. It also looks too clean.

If you want a REALLY authentic look... Print it out as is, drip a drop or 2 of water on it and let soak, and add some random scratches (I don't care what anyone says, what photoshop does isn't random...) Scan it back in, and see what you can do from there.

Thanks for your help. Here are some more shots from the Texas bayou.

the last one is prolly the best. but how old do you want it to look?

This waterway was very busy in the late 1800s and I would like to make the photos appear to be from that era.

It might look more plausible if you pasted in a few austere looking 1800s businessmen and their slaves/workers?
