I grew up on the East Coast and the boardwalks of the Jersey Shore was my summer playground as a kid in the 1970s. I had a touch of nostalgia during a recent visit to the Rehoboth Beach boardwalk. When reviewing the photos I took of the shops along the boardwalk, I leaned into the colors and tones typical of photographs from the 1970s. Warm earthy tones coupled with cool shadows, a lower saturation, and a “tattered” or “weathered” type of look.

In this tutorial, I share the ON1 Effects filters I used to create the look.
