Tintype photos are more than just a black and white photo with a grunge layer blended on top.
True tintype photos were developed under unique conditions with specific equipment. For example, the film used in the era of the tintype required the subject to attempt to sit still because the film had to be exposed for up to 20 seconds. The result is that the subject (or camera) often moved, at least a little, causing a blurred effect. In this tutorial we will walk you through the process of how to reproduce these conditions in Photoshop to create a tintype effect.
