Day 21: I'll show you how to turn your pictures into old paragraphs. 🔥🚀

But most importantly, the technique I'll use here can be applied to doing lots of crazy things with overlaying images.

This is what the finished product will look like 😁 #25DaysOfMediaMagic Image
1. Upload both the baby picture and the torn old looking paper photo to @cloudinary #25DaysOfMediaMagic ImageImage
@cloudinary 2. We will use the old torn paper image as a mask to crop the baby picture by matching the width and height of the baby picture like so:

In Node.js, you can see we used it as overlay in this way:

@cloudinary After doing that, we will have this as the result #25DaysOfMediaMagic Image
@cloudinary 3. We'll overlay the torn paper again, making it semi transparent. This will transfer the weathered look over to the image like so:

Node.js code in the middle:
URL format at the extreme right: ImageImageImage
@cloudinary 4. Let's enhance the look to make it very old. There is an effect called the "Sepia" effect that @cloudinary provides.

We can use it like so:

With the URL way, it will look like so on the right: #25DaysOfMediaMagic ImageImage
@cloudinary Booooom...and we have a very old looking photo!!!

Go ahead and reproduce yours with the steps I have highlighted. 😁 #25DaysOfMediaMagic

We made it to Day 21. 💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃 Image
