There is a freeware program called Photoscape, it has a whole bunch of filters to give your images a film look with many different types of film. That's what I use and ive been happy with it.

Kelly there are MANY ways, with many looks. What type of "old school" were you going for?

Ok we both typed at the same time! You are looking at adding grain and a sepia tone.

There is an action called "old school" in the totally rad action set.
First one is "old school" and 2nd is "super old school":

Google "totally rad actions" and buy them. They are indeed, totally rad.

Are you asking how to use an action? If so, you load them in PS and hit the play button.
