Age Your Photographs
Posted by Suhit Gupta in "Digital Home Software" @ 07:00 AM
"The Japanese have gotten hold of a time machine. We knew it would happen sooner or later. The weird thing is, this time machine only works on photographs. You feed it a sharp modern photo, and it comes back to you looking like it was taken sixty years ago. Maybe it came from The Future! Or Outer Space! Or the Underground Lair of the Mole People (yikes)! We don’t know because, well, we can’t read Japanese. All we know is, if you click “browse”, upload a photo, and then click on the blue button in the middle, the time machine magically oldifies your picture. It might also summon an army of cranky Mole People, we’re not sure."
You can look at a lot more pictures here, though the site is a bit slow (and in Japanese). But a cool photo editing result. I don't know how often I would use this though. I remember being totally excited the first time I discovered Sepia where I could give photographs that 60's or 70's feel but after the novelty wore off, I never used it again. So I wonder why I would want to make photographs look even older?
