If its colour.

Desaturate. Edit the levels. Add some overlayed scratched brushed. Put grunge brushes around the edge. Add a radial gradient from black to transparent.

Hope that helps

1. Desaturate
2. Adjust Levels
3. Use Photo Filter (Sepia)
4. Use Grunge Edge brushes

For the brushes I recommend:

1. Grunge Edge Brushes by =Neonescence
2. Freebie - Grunge Corners and Edges Photoshop Brush Pack 2
3. Border iii by ~struckdumb
4. Border vi by ~struckdumb
5. grunge with border by ~flinkle
6. Freebies - Corners and Edges Photoshop Brush Pack 1

Just Google the names. Big Grin
