I remember back in the early 2000s everyone had photos with this warm yellowish tint and blurry edges. Now I want to recreate that style on my photos. What filters or settings do I need to get that old-school look?
To get a vintage look, you need to raise the temperature (add warmth and a yellowish tone), lower the contrast and saturation a bit, and then blur the edges or add a vignette. Any app like Snapseed, VSCO, or Lightroom has ready-made filters with names like "Retro" or "Vintage" - they already come with that color palette. If the presets aren't enough, you can manually boost the yellows and reds in the curves, add slight blur around the edges with lens blur, or even just overlay a warm gradient. The main thing is not to overdo it, otherwise it'll look like a filter rather than a natural old photo.
