Retro Photo Effects

There are many free sites online where one can create vintage effects and be very creative to your photographs. 

Here is my first example. A photo of my 4 year old's first day home from kindergarten. Just a little excited and proud of herself and her macaroni necklace!

Using http://pixlr.com/o-matic/, they have many vintage effect available. I used the 'Doug' vintage effect for a subtle change.

http://www.instantretro.com/ is a very easy site to use.  You just need to make sure you reset every time you want to try a new effect. Otherwise they will layer and you will loose the quality.

There are so many options at Instant Retro. I used the 'Glowing Sun' with a Roll Effect. Funnily enough, Ava Rose is wearing a 1970s dancing costume and sitting in front of a 1970s table lamp!
