Yes. You can get close in Photoshop from a smartphone photo.

A common “old print” look comes from faded color dyes in prints: cyan tends to fade first, while yellow is more stable. To mimic that, warm the image, reduce saturation, lower contrast a bit, and lighten cyan tones slightly (with a smaller shift in magenta if needed).

Good starting points:

• use Curves or Levels to soften contrast
• try a gentle S-curve for overall tone shaping
• warm the color balance
• reduce saturation for a faded look
• adjust cyan/magenta channels to imitate aging

If you want a quicker route, use a film/vintage plugin or filter. One suggestion from the community is Analog Efex from the Nik Collection, which can help create a film-style look with less manual work.

So: yes, it’s doable, and a smartphone source image is fine. The effect is mostly about color, contrast, and tone rather than the camera used.
