To create antiquing effects, you can use images found online or you can shoot or scan textures you like. You can also photograph textures specifically for this technique. Drag the antique paper (or whatever texture you've found) to the top layer of your image. Change the blending mode of that layer to MULTIPLY and adjust the opacity as needed.
Notice the blending mode of the layer with the paper scan is "Multiply".
Extracting elements of scans for collage:
I scanned this old book because I liked the gold leaf border:
Then using Select > Color Range, I made a selection of the gold border and copied and pasted it into a new empty layer (command C, command V).
Use 'Command T' (free transform) to change the size of the border to fit your image.
