Sheila Norris suggested doing this shot in sepia since he is in pioneer garb.
Not really happy with it - just learning how to do post processing and the learning curve is steep!
@francoise Thank you! And to imagine all the work I went to in the original photo to give a clear, unblemished appearance and then I process the noise in!
@granagringa You have to upload a photo first - so upload in restricted if you want to spend a long time playing with it before posting it public. I usually post mine public because any changes I make in PicMonkey are quick and easy.
Aha...I didn't know you could upload in restricted. I'll have to explore that. That was one reason I hadn't tried using PicMonkey; it seemed a bit after the fact.
@granagringa Yes - there are lots of ways to post. I will post in restricted if I get behind in uploading photos and I do not want to overload other people's homepages by uploading lots all at once. Photos made public afterward do not go onto homepage - oops - I guess you will not want to work in restricted if you want people to comment!
Oh well - how about clicking on one of your old photos that you have already posted and try editing it with PicMonkey? That way you can practice and it won't matter!
This is more the photos they put on tin. Typically sepia are light brown and with low contrast. But, I like this process on this photo. Definitely makes him look menacing.
Ouch! Great shot. I like the graininess and the sepia.. they give it that vintage feel. I wonder if there is a conflict between that and the modern 'distressed' look to the framing? I might add 'dust and scratches' instead... PS can do it.. but PS can be a bit daunting.. I certainly find it so.
