How to Create a Old Paper Background Using Photoshop.
If a piece of paper in your pocket for few days then scan it and work on that image.I’ve seen tutorials stretching on 6-7 pages to achieve this effect. I don’t have time for that.Its Adobe Photoshop will do all the work for us if we apply the right filters in the right order. Now I will show you the fastest way to do it:)

First open a new document (mine is 400×400 px, but it will work the same with any size) and press Ctrl + D to set the default foreground and background colors. The go to the menu Filters – Render – Clouds.

Go again to the menu Filter – Render – Difference Clouds and apply this effect.

Repeat this effect 3 times, pressing Ctrl + F 3 times.

Now go to the menu Filter – Stylize – Emboss and click it. A new window will pop up.

Apply this filter. You can play a little with the Height and see if you can get a better result. Click OK then press Ctrl + A to select all, go to the menu Select – Modify – Contract and contract the selection with 40 px. Go back to Select – Modify menu and this time chose Feather. Set a feather of 20 px.

Press Ctrl + Shift + I to invert selection then press Ctrl + J (new layer via copy).

On the new layer, set the Blending Mode to Multiply.

Add a Black & White adjustment layer.

Check the Tint box and punch up the Saturation.

Hit OK then stop the clock. How long it took you? There you have it: a nice paper background made with Adobe Photoshop in just under a minute.

Thank you!
