Simple Retro Image Tutorial - Adobe Photoshop
1. Choose your image & open it in Adobe Photoshop. For this tutorial, I will use this image:

2. Go to Image > Adjustments > Threshold. I will use Threshold Level: 188

3. Create a new layer ontop of your image. Pick the colours you want and then use the Gradient Tool. Drag it across the new layer.

4. Then set the layer to lighten

TADA! You now have a retro-ish image :nod
You can also add your own personal touch to make the image look more retro-ish. Questions, post it here! I'd also like to see your work if ever you tried this one smile-big
