What is an antique effect? An antique effect is an image effect which goes through some picture / photo reversion & restoration to turn a picture into a seemingly old one, just like it was taken / made many years ago. By applying the antique / vintage effect to a picture, you can add a touch of history to the image which can help bring back the sweet memories in the good old days.
