Let's Begin

Paste, as a new layer, the close up image. Keep it centered. Resize down to 85%. Go to Effects - PlugIns - Xero - Nastalgia. Use factory settings except for Balance. Make that 33. In palette layers, right click and duplicate. Click on the duplicate and go to Effects - Cybia Screenworks. Select Light gauze. Reduce oppacity to 70.
