sort of like a portrait from the late 1800's (sepia, worn out, etc).
i already got the sepia, but need the texture (what texturizer is best?)
i am looking for something that should not take me too long, since it does not need to be eextremely proffessional, just good.
any other features? thank you so much!

Wow, it looks as though monkey's have finally figured out how to answer questions.
As you stated, you are looking for more than just the sepia look. So, let me help you out a lil bit more.
There are a multitude of ways to age a photo other than sepia.
One way is to duplicate the layer and use a custom grunge shaped eraser (downloaded from studio.adobe.com -> exchange) set at like 50% to do quick erases over the photo. This will produce almost water-worn stains.
A texturizer isn't really the way to go as it just produces a canvas, burlap, brick (etc.) effect over the picture. Where as this produces an artistic print, it doesn't really age the photo at all.
You can also produce a burned effect on the paper. Duplicate the layer and create a jagged cut-out. give a harsh drop shadow with orange / red highlights around the cutout.
As I said, there are a lot of ways to do this, however the step-by-step process is quite long. Email me if you want to know more: chris@wise-designs.net

Those filters are not the best for design, they are gimmicks and very unoriginal. find something with the texture you like and scan it onto ur computer with a high resolution, then add a new layer in photoshop and lay it over the entire design then drop the opacity until you get the desired wear off the photo.
goodluck

Forget the filters ! If you already have sepia just adjust the light on your own and saturation !

adjust the hue down to 30 saturation to 50 in your software that 's all you need it will give effect and keep quality

dust & scratches filter or the blur filter...those photos during that time show lots of imperfections, crackles etc
