C&C Please

[ddt0725]

My initial thought is exactly the same as David stated. So +1 on his advice! Also I personally like sepia a little more "gold-ish" this one is still a little "grey-ish?". I'm slightly colourblind so please don't pin me on the exact color, but I like sepia just a tint warmer [img]/emoticons/emotion-13.gif[/img]

Hi Jan,


Thanks so much for your comments!! I fully agree with you on prefering a warmer sepia. I'm at work now and cannot remember which program I used (I have many) to get this, but I am used to seeing something more goldish also. I have so many programs and rarely use them do to lack of time to learn them!

When I get home I will also look at the other photos from near the bridge and see what I can do about the crooked bridge.

Thanks again for your input!

Maybe try a duotone effect? The sepia doesn't really do it for me for some reason. The image is too flat.

I think I would prefer that also but I do not have Photoshop just elements and don't know alot about that program. I love when a photo is B&W but one object in the photo has color but I can't remember which of my other programs has that capability.

I am going to try a few other ideas tonight and see what I can come up with.


Thanks much for your suggestion! Very much appreciated!

You can do that with Elements. You'll need to create a new "layer" to do so. If you EVER have a question about how to post-process something, take it to YouTube. There is a video for almost everything!

I did a quick edit using Microsoft Photo Editor. If you'venever heard of it, it's about 1rung up from "Paint" on the picture editing ladder! Anyway, the bridge was off by about 3 degrees.

Mark, if I may be honbest, I think your edit looks kind of "hard". The original photo is just a little more peaceful, dreamy and flattering, but also a little bit too dreamy [:P]


Personally I would think that somewhere in between would be the best. What do you think?


Of course I must take in consideration that you edited a non-original file, but do you know what I mean?

Mark, if I may be honbest

I hear you. I mainly wanted to show Denise how quickly and easily you could fix her bridge problem with even the simplest of tools. I figured while I was at it I'd crop out the boarder that I didn't like and add a little contrast :-) I actually believe that this picture would probably look better in color. Let's see what Denise comes up with when she re-processes her file.
