Vintage Visions

June 13, 2012 12:03 PM

RetroWebMatic provides real-time vintage photo effects for websites, with five presets: toasted, lo-brow, tool shed, parchment and vinaigrette. If you'd like to stick with filtering photos, Pixlr's O-Matic does just that, with tons of preset filters, photo "aging" effects, and frames. If you have Photoshop handy, here are 16 tutorials, two tutorial videos, 14 vintage/grunge texture packs, and 16 action packs.

Man, these look just like my dad's old Polaroids of the reddit front page.

Now, there's a "retrofy" that's worthy of the ancient computer icon.

Hey, now I know what MetaFilter looks like through the eyes of a bloodshot glaucoma sufferer!
