Open the 'color_lookup_before.jpg' start image via File>Open. Next, click on the
Adjustment layer icon and select Color Lookup in the drop-down menu. All the options to
adjust the colors in the image will appear in a separate properties dialog box below.

There are three different tabs from which you can select the alternative color effects. To
give the image a vintage look, switch to the Abstract tab. Then, from the drop-down menu,
select Gold-Crimson. You can experiment with alternative effects depending on how you
want your final image to appear.

Next, duplicate the Background Layer and label it 'Filter
effects'. Right-click the Filter effects layer and select
Convert to Smart Object. This means that you can add
multiple filter effects in a non-destructive way. To add a
vignette, go to Filter>Lens Correction and switch to the
Custom tab. Under Vignette, change Amount to -60 and
Midpoint to +40. Click OK.

Finally, to add some grain, go to Filter>Filter Gallery and under the Textures menu, select
Grain. Increase Intensity to 20 and Contrast to 60. Keep Grain Type on Regular. Click OK
