This is my attempt at creating a Florabella PS action using gimp 2.6.11..first i duplicated the background image x2. next i added  gaussian blur from the filters, next i applied the texture by drag and drop using my mouse..used the &quot;layer cover script &quot; to cover the background image, then changed the mode to to &quot;Overlay&quot; lowering the opacity to 35%.desaturated  the texture from colour tools, then inverted the texture layer, added a washed out orange-pink  gradient lowering the opacity to 30%,created a  new layer..used the Curves tool from the colour tools adjusting the tone curves Red, Green ,&amp; blue, value..re-adjusting the curves to the top half (+ lighter) to create the nostalgic  hazy  feel to the image..i finished the image adjusting the brightness &amp; contrast...
