I love the look that instagram gives to pictures but sometimes it didn't give me the right type of effect. But have no fear because I found a way to make your pictures look perfectly vintage! Using photoshop works the best... or so I think. I put this project as "free" even though photoshop is infact quite pricey. Though a lot of people using this effect probably already have photoshop.
