### 11.6. Old Photo

#### 11.6.1. Overview

Figur 17.230. 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.

#### 11.6.2. Activate the filter

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

#### 11.6.3. Options

Figur 17.231. «Old Photo» options

Defocus

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

  Figur 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).[16] To achieve this effect, the filter desaturates the image, reduces brightness and contrast, and modifies the color balance.[17]

Mottle

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

  Figur 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.
