What to do when it’s cold and wet - take a photo of the books on the table waiting to be read.

try adding noise and scratches if u want to really give it the antique look. sometimes if u add a huge amount of contrast (where there's no longer an detail in the darks), it also works quite well.

I was very lucky with these two volumes Matt - got them on Ebay for $99 - only bid - worth around $230.00 :)

I actually used a filter in Photoshop called Auto FX - it’s easier that way :wink:
