I’m no photoshop expert, but if you are better with it then I am, then that link will make sense.

few things
take the color pic, desaturate the colors about -45%
then i have a scratch fill pattern, which adds those scratches in a pattern using “soft light” to put on top of the pic… in PS its EDIT\>FILL … i had to download a small 30x30 pixel image of scratches, then PS creates the pattern to flow over the whole pic
i also did a slight “diffuse glow” which kinda lightens it up and makes the whites in the pic slighty glow, i did a very minimal one for this…
then i added an orange warming filter, so it gives the sepia tone look, but stil retrieves some of the color in the pic
as for doin it so fast… i dunno, but it def sounds like more than it is… each thing just takes a few clicks

i’m gonna work on it now. you pretty much made that pic exactly how I was picturing it in my head, so now I’m just going to look like a copier lol.
where can I d/l that scratch pattern (or any scratch pattern for that matter)

i’ve already done everything except the scratches, except I kept some more color in mine.
All I need is the scratch filler.
