Turn your travel photos into vintage postcards. This effect is based   on old photochrom photos, like the one shown in the About    Photochroms section of this lesson. This technique works best on    colorful photos that have good contrast and lots of detail, especially  architectural detail. For best results:

• If necessary, adjust the color tone and contrast of your photo  before  you begin.
• If you have dull, washed-out skies, colorize the sky to add some  blue before you begin.

Before	After

To create a vintage postcard:

1. Open the image you want to use for the postcard.
2. Duplicate the image on a new layer and apply a blending mode to  the  duplicate image:
   
   1. Press Ctrl+J to duplicate the image  on a new layer above the background layer.
   2. In the Layers Palette, select the Color Dodge blend  mode.
   3. At the top right of the Layers palette, reduce the layer Opacity  to 65%. The image should look similar to the following:
      
      
3. Add a Photo Filter adjustment layer above the duplicate layer:
   
   1. In the Layers Palette, click the New Adjustment layer   icon and select Photo Filter.
   2. In the Photo Filter window, select the Sepia filter from the   drop-down list.
   3. Uncheck Preserve Luminosity.
   4. Reduce the Density to 50%.
   5. Click OK.
4. On the Photo Filter adjustment layer, add a blending mode and  adjust  opacity:
   
   1. Select the Multiply blending mode.
   2. At the top right of the Layers palette, reduce the layer Opacity  to 50%
5. On the same Photo Filter adjustment layer, add a Photographic    Effects layer style:
   
   1. From the Windows menu, select Effects to open  the  Effects palette.
   2. In the Effects palette, click the Layer Styles  icon, then select Photographic Effects from the   drop-down list.
   3. Select the Orange Gradient effect.
   4. Click Apply.

Your Layers palette should look something like this when completed:

About Photochroms

According to the American Photochrom Archive Gallery:

"A Photochrom is a color photo lithograph, produced from a   black-and-white negative. The final prints were created using different   color impressions from multiple lithographic stones."

This photographic technique became very popular in the 1890's,   especially when the Post Office introduced the penny postcard.
The inspiration for this effect is shown below:

Photochrom photo from the Library   of Congress where you can find many public domain images and images   you can use for personal projects. Search for "photochrom Eiffel."

Example

Here is another example of this effect applied to a contemporary   Paris photo:
