Making the old sepia effect
Open your image you want to make sepia. Here is mine:
Now using any selection tool you want (I used lasso tool and deleted the unwanted part - you can use extract tool, color range, anything that suits you), remove the parts you don’t want. It’s possible that you skip this step. Here is mine:
Now add a new adjustment layer - hue/saturation over your original image layer. It’s time to make the sepia. In the hue/saturation menu put these values: Hue:37, Saturation: 25, Lightness: 21
Now make a new layer and place it under your image layer. Fill it with a light brown color. I used #b39970.
Now duplicate the brown layer and move it on top of the layers like in my example. Add to it a white layer mask.
With this layer selected, choose a big brush and start painting with black over the layer mask:
After you made visible the center, like I did, put the layer in multiply mode from blending options.

Making realistic rain
Open your image. Here is mine: (Note: try to have a photo that already have a rainy athmosphere…)
Now duplicate the layer and on the top layer, go to Filter > Noise > Add noise. Put 200% amount, gaussian, monochromatic.
Now go to Filter > Blur > motion blur. Here are my values: Angle -73, Distance 24 pixels.
Now put the layer in overlay mode(on some image, you can use also screen or lighten modes) and drag the opacity slider until you like the effect.
