    Maybe play around with the opacity on a gradient. With the upper part of the image being the most transparent. Or play around with different textures and alter the transparencies.

    For the basic color treatment:

    -Fill a new layer with the tan background color.

    -Put your photo on top of that layer.

    -Boost the contrast of your photo with a levels or curves effect, crushing the blacks and blowing out the highlights.

    -Set your photo layer’s blending mode to “multiply”.

    -Add a black and white effect to the photo layer, tinting it to taste for a sepia tone.

    For the chromatic aberration around the edges of the photo (color splitting):

    -Merge your layers into one

    -Duplicate the resulting layer twice, so there are three instances

    -Starting with the bottom, go into the Channel Mixer effect. Go to the green and blue dropdowns and change those values, which will say “100”, to 0.

    -Apply a channel mixer to the middle layer, except this time turn the red and blue to 0.

    -Add a channel mixer to the top layer, this time with the red and green to 0.

    -Change the top two layers’ blend modes to “lighten”. It should now look like your original image again.

    -Add a “Spherize” filter to the top two layers with a small positive value. Say, 5 and 8.

    Done!
