Thanks, Ger.
after working with many old films and photos, I am trying to make my photos look like old ones. Sometimes, it works, sometimes not. First the shot is ISO3200, to make it grainy, then some Photoshop layers work...

1. Hue/ Saturation
a. displace Hue just a little (-30, -40)
b. decrease saturation
c. increase light

2. Levels
a. Restrain output levels, both upper and lower limits

3. Color balance
a. Shadows and Midtones towards cyan and yellow
b. Highlights towards red, magenta, yellow

I have repeated these same steps onto some other photos, but each photo came out in different tones.
