If you’ve noticed some dust, hair and dirty things on my pictures, like this, this, and this, and yes this one too, well, I can tell you I don’t like so much to clean home and even my computer desktop is a mess. Besides that.. I love grain, dust and those dirty picturessss.
So, anyway, today I’m feeling extremely generous and I’ll give you some dirtness. Three textures I made, to give your photographs a dusty and analogic feeling… to turn this kind of shots:
into this..
Just place one of the texture on a layer in front of you picture using the Screen overlay mode.. adjust the levels and the opacity to adjust the effect!

Many thanks for sharing your ideas and tricks. I’m wondering how you made those textures, because they dust is nicely white and background very dark. Did you just photograph your desk or some wall?

You’re welcome man;) Well, it’s not a desk or a wall, it’s.. the screen of my macbook
It was very dirty so I used my 50mm, placed a light near the screen to enhance the dust and took the picture. If you zoom to 100% you can see the pixels.
