Hello guys I am Vaibhav and in this tutorial I am going to show you how to create Instagram Mayfair effect using Photoshop. Last time I discussed about Creation of Navigation Bar in Photoshop which is really a recommended tutorial for web designers. For this tutorial I am going to use layers, layer adjustments and some filters with blend modes. The most basic thing of Instagram is to crop a image with perfect square dimension. But I am not going to do this. By the way if you want to crop your image with square dimension than click here and head over to constraint proportion column.

STEP 1
Open your image in Photoshop. Create a new layer by pressing ctrl+shift+N/cmd+shift+N or you can also do it by going to layer>new>layer. Rename that layer to noise.
Now make black as your foreground color by pressing D. Now we are going to fill our “noise” layer with our foreground color. Press Alt+backspace/Opt+delete to fill you noise layer with your foreground color i.e. black color.
