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.

#### 11.6.2. Activate the filter

The filter is found in the image window menu under Filters → Decor → Old Photo.

#### 11.6.3. Options

Figure 17.231. « Old Photo » options

Defocus

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

  Figure 17.232. 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).[9] To achieve this effect, the filter desaturates the image, reduces brightness and contrast, and modifies the color balance.[10]

Mottle

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

  Figure 17.233. 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.
