I used to drive by the shoe house in Pennsylvania all the time!

I enjoy watching PS tutorials but I was drawn to this video because of the photo choice. ;-) I grew up a few miles from the shoe house. Interesting to walk around the inside. A lot more snug than I expected.

Hi Marty, Thank you for this video. I have a question, is it possible to batch edit multiple images using this method at the same time? I.E. save the postcard photoshop configuration settings you show in this video, and then apply them to multiple images at a later time. It would be great to save this configuration to a file and then apply it when needed and then only have to go in and change the text to each as necessary.

[@BLTV_Photoshop]

Yes. I explain this at 1:47 in the video. Once the image is converted into a Smart Object, you can replace the image with a different photo without having to redo the effects.

[@KeithElliott]

@@BLTV_Photoshop Wonderful! Thank you for the quick reply.

Me caés tan bien

[@jamiefritchman3435]

When finished, do you need to convert to CMYK for print?

[@BLTV_Photoshop]

No.

Marty, You may want to clarify, either in the title or the description, that your intention is a postcard that has been left out in daylight for years based on how you are making the faded and washed out coloring. Believe it or not but recently I have found some old, at least 40 years maybe 50, postcards that were not sitting out and the color and clarity on them were perfectly crystal clear. There was not color fading or washing to them. And none of them had the posterizing texture part of them.

[@BLTV_Photoshop]

Thank you for your comment. Technically, you're correct. Depending on how the postcards were stored would greatly determine the degree of paper yellowing, foxing and the fading of colors, however, I was aiming for the look of postcards from the 1940s and 50s. It goes without saying that most printed matter that are 60 or 70 years old would be yellowed due to the acid in the paper and since postcard inks weren't archival, their colors would've faded over time. Also, many of the postcards of that day had a cheap, hand-painted look to them and their fonts were similar to the ones I used.
