This is one of the older streets in our medieval market town. The church in the background is where we all sing and worship and still has part of the original building built in 1442. I wonder how many footsteps have there been over those cobbles?
Beautiful photo. So English. Nothing so old out here. Love the cobble stones which lead you up the hill and what a beautiful old church. So much to see in this shot. Really takes me back to my childhood.
@steampowered I might have a go at cloning out that sign. I'd done a couple already and thought I was overdoing it but, you're right, it's now the only thing that jars and makes this a modern photo. Don't supose you know offhand if photoshop does aged colour or sepia? I've never found it.
@angelar Yes, you can use Photoshop to produce Sepia. You need to go to Image-->Adjustments-->Hue / Saturation and when in there, click the Colorize box. Select the colour you want using the hue slider (something around the 30 mark is reasonable) then you play with the saturation slider to get the depth of sepia you want - the final result is up to you.
@angelar No problems. Once you have discovered this mechanism for colourising a print, you can change the hue from Sepia to red to blue to green to whatever you want. That's why there isn't just a "Sepia" instruction. There would be nothing against you creating a Spepia Action to do it whenever though. To be honest, the instructions I have given you are destructive on the picture itself so if you are comfortable with using Adjustment Layers then you can do the same thing without touching the picture layer.
