Wanokoto Labs offer a neat website that allows you to age any photo by 100-150 years with just a couple of clicks. Sure beats having to use PhotoShop, that is, if you even have it.
You don't even need to know Japanese, although there is a helpful English language selection at the top right of the page. Just click on the word Browse to select a photo from your computer and hit the next box below. Voila! Instant vintage photo.
The process works really well for a wide range of photos - people shots, landscapes and buildings. Even the Trendhunter website looks positively ancient!
