Do you know how to replicate it in Gimp?</div> <div>Btw, have you tried Gimp->Filters->Decor->Coffee Stain and Old Photo (in Gimp 2.6)?</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;"> one touch color/fade restoration, Corel<br> Express Lab, print layout with support for Avery.
