# Old Photo

## Overview

Example for the Old Photo filter

Original image

Old Photo applied

This filter makes an image look like an old photo: blurred, with a jagged border, toned with a brown shade, and marked with spots.

## Activating the Filter

This filter is found in the main menu under Filters Decor Old Photo… .

## Options

Old Photo options

Defocus

  If checked, a Gaussian blur will be applied to the image, making it less clear.

  Example for the Defocus option

  Defocus enabled

  Defocus disabled

Border size

  When you choose a border size > 0, the Fuzzy Border filter will be applied to the image, adding a white, jagged border.

Sepia

  If checked, the filter reproduces the effect of aging in old, traditional black-and-white photographs, toned with sepia (shades of brown).

  See Wikipedia .

  To achieve this effect, the filter desaturates the image, reduces brightness and contrast, and modifies the color balance.

Mottle

  When you check this option, the image will be marked with spots.

  Example for the Mottle option

  A plain white image mottled (without Defocus or Sepia)

Work on copy

  If checked, the filter creates a new window containing a copy of the image with the filter applied. The original image remains unchanged.
