Simulated Daguerreotype

For my daguerreotype I wanted it to have a modern look, to contrast with the vintage edge, so I chose my all time favorite photo i have taken in this class, and dragged it into photoshop. I took out all the color by using the "curves" tool, then added an orange tint to imply age. I went on the textures website, and found a basic, flat metal, that had an mild texture, and used layering in photoshop to apply it over the original image. I shifted it around, until the pattern was obviously blocking, but instead an added accent, then used the burn tool to create a half inch border around the beater, and the edge of her face.
