How do I create this simple effect?

Attached is a header I purchased with a template some time ago. The template I modified for one of my sites, but I would really like to recreate the header graphic for the site in a very similar style to the attached image.

Question is, I'm not experienced enough as a graphic artist to be able to know which effects to use. I experimented in PaintShopPro 7 - especially with sepia and aged newspaper effects - but I could never get it to look right.

Any suggestions are very welcome.

Did you try using the Aged Newspaper effcts option under Effects > Artistic Effects option? When you try this play with the amout to age. 82 is a good value to start with.

If you still have problems doing this, create your header and send it to me and I'll be happy to apply the filter in photoshop for you.

I would up the saturation a bit... give it a more "worn" look maybe?

i don't think this is so much a filter as it is a duotone... or you could even accomplish this by removing all colors (grayscale) and then sampling the color from the lightest tone (the highlight of her shirt) and using a layer above it with the multiply filter to put the color over the grayscale image

If you have Photoshop play about in the Hue/Saturation adjustment tool, you can achieve effects like that pretty quickly and easily.

You should just lay a texture over it (cracks) and lower the opacity. Then mess around with hue/sat to get the old newspaper effect I understand you are trying to achieve. If that turns out to be too hard for you, look into filters that you can download. Theres probably a filter for almost anything you may need. Google it duuuuude!
