Hooray For Hollywood!

Old Picture Postcard?
This photo replicates the look of old picture postcards with the washed out tints and hues.  To start with, a hue/saturation layer was added to the original photo and the saturation was changed to -50, it was lightened +45 and the hue was lowered -20.

Another hue/saturation level was added and "blue" was selected from the drop-down menu.  I changed it to -47 hue, +6 saturation and +62 lighten.  This altered the sky.

Next, a gradient map layer was added which reflected blue/yellow/pink.  It can be found under color harmonies 2.

Lastly, a black and white looking film grain was added as a texture layer and reduced to 30%.

The photo was taken at California Adventure, entering the back lot area of the theme park.
