This is a "vintage color photo" of the front of the Magic Shop at Pike Place Market, Seattle. I used Topaz Texture Effects and Alien Skin Exposure with a vintage film preset, tweaked.

Way too cool with so many interesting elements and slogans! I like the warm glow over the image. I would consider making that large dark oval on the left a bit lighter so the detail is more obvious.

Thanks Nancy! The last effect from Exposure did that. Actually I filled it with the color of it and then added a brush stroke to it because what it showed was a reflection of a window and me making the photo. It looked brighter last nigh, LOL.

Excellent! Looks perfect! Great job.

You did a nice job of aging this and of either preventing or correcting distortion. I wondered about a way to get rid of the reflections at the top (from flood lights?) and was able to take care of most of it with a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer with saturation cranked all the way down and the layer in Multiply blend mode.

Thanks Anita!

Thanks Dennis. I did correct a little distortion. I will try that method to reduce the glare, appreciate the tip.
