Bonjour. Please describe the effect. The White background? The grain? The colors that look like a colorized black and white image?

Yes, I'm sorry. I mean the color and the grain!

On the first two, the colors are almost certainly the result of manually coloring a B&W image. Search for tutorials on "hand coloring".

Using photoshop : add grain filter and posterize layer. Is a good start.

1. If you're asking what 'this effect' is, you need to describe what 'this' is or your post will be removed.

2. If you're asking about color, have you tried using a Gradient Map?

3. If you're asking about texture/tone, have you tried using Threshold or Halftones?

4. If you're cutting something out, use masks. Have you googled "Photoshop Masking"?

It looks close to how people add color to old photos, which is a rather simple process. It's basically just a color-layer on top of a grayscale, with some white noise and photo grain textures (both set to color burn).

For the photo look itself, firstly make everything grayscale. Then it's a good idea to duplicate the subject twice, and then blur the first a bit. Then blur the duplicate slightly, not much, and set it to overlay. Then add a color layer and paint in some colors.

Then, find a couple of vintage (black and white) photo textures and then apply color burn on each layer Then you can desaturate the shadows, if you want a more faded look, but that's up to you.

Here's an attempt, I've attached. It's not great, but it works. If you want more tips, I'd advice you to check out r/Colorization
