retro look
Three things happen at once, and it is the combination that reads as old rather than merely tinted. The colour curve pulls blue down hardest and lifts the black point, so shadows go warm-brown instead of neutral. A vignette darkens the frame toward the corners by up to about a third. A fine grain sits on top, weighted toward red.
Lifting the black point is the part most people miss when they try to fake this by hand. Aged prints have no true black — the ink faded and the paper yellowed — so an image with pure black shadows never looks old, however warm the midtones are.
three steps
A colour JPG, PNG or WebP. The effect has nothing to work with on an image that is already monochrome — start from colour.
Grade, vignette and grain apply in one pass. There is nothing to configure, so the preview is simply the output.
Export as JPG, WebP or PNG. JPG is a reasonable choice here — the grain hides compression artifacts that would show on a clean image.
quick answers
Sepia collapses the image to one brown tone and throws the original colour away. This keeps the colours, warms them, and adds the vignette and grain that a flat sepia has no way to produce.
No, it is a fixed pattern computed from each pixel position, so the same photo always comes out identical. That is a deliberate trade — real film grain is random, but a reproducible result matters more when you are exporting the same image twice.
Yes, and skin tones take the warm cast well. The vignette darkens the corners, so it flatters a centred subject and works against one placed near an edge.
Not on this page; the vignette strength is fixed. Crop in first if the corners matter, or use the photo filters page and pick the plain vintage preset, which has the grade without the vignette.
Download the result and run it through adjust brightness or adjust saturation. Doing the exposure work first, then the effect, usually looks better than the other way round.
