Sepia Scenes #3


I thought I'd try a SEPIA portrait today. I cropped the photo very close and then I uploaded it to Photobucket and used the bronze effect. I then moved the FADE slider to the left to lessen the effect quite a bit. I then chose to frame the photo with a black halo. I faded the halo as well.

I think many of you may know that this is my dear grand-nephew. A sweetie-pie, if I say so myself!



Why don't you try a portrait next week. You can take one of your own or find one in your archives.

And I'd love to hear HOW you applied SEPIA to your photo.

Mary, I got the links wrong (twice). I put this week's at the wrong place then last week's for this edition. So what is correct is the second link for today.
I am really sorry. Too much driving today.

So interesting how you applied the effect! And on such a gorgeous young tyke! I posted a portrait today and did the desaturate then added yellow and magenta with color sliders. But I am going to poke around in Photoshop to see if there's something like this bronzing effect. Yes, a definite cutie.

Mmm... portrait? I'm thinking not. Got a thing about publishing people y'know? I love this one though!

Beautiful boy! And I love the effects you've achieved in this portrait.

I just set the camera on sepia and pushed the button this time.

That's a nice editing work on a potrait photo. I will try it on another post.

Btw, I'm using Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo X2. It's lot easier than photoshop.

What a handsome little boy!

I'll have to go and see what I have for portraits...

Hi everybody,
Oh my he is simply adorable. And I love how you used the different techniques.

This is my very first entry and I hope I have done it correctly.

But, please do not ask me what techniques I used.....I just played.

But I have it up here.

Your shots are so creative! But I must admit, the adorable eyes of the little one are almost magnetic in mystical sepia!
