if it isn't a secret,how did you do it

Re: help
 

I agree actually, it gives it an authentic "aged" look. But the man gets what the man wants. :D

Re: help
 

I used an application called Photoshop, which gives you lots of options for balancing/ adjusting colours / light levels / hue's and tones.

Re: help
 

I dont think getting the background white will work because you will still have the man it wont look natural

Re: help
 

apology accepted zoombini.
i still think it looks better with the white background,my only point is and i don't like to criticise,its possibly a bit grainy the blueraja.but still when i see what youv'e done with it it still makes me go wow.

Re: help
 

Thats the problem, if you try and change something too much it can become a bit grainy.

If you can send me as full size a scan as you can i can see what i can do with more detail if you like.

PM Me if your interested and i will give you my e-mail address.

Re: help
 

AFAIK you can send it to photoprint.co.uk or somewhere similar & get it printed.

Re: help
 

I have changed the background to pure white but that makes the photo look very odd as you grand dad is the same and the background is white

Re: help
 

hi damien what i'm trying to say is in theblueraja's picture my grandfather stands out more,it is more like the picture as i remember it in the 50's 60's 70's.the yellow colour as only occured in the last 10 yrs.
