Sepia scenes


I've been experimenting with iPhoto applications such as matte, vignette, and edge blur lately, and as you can see today is no exception. The sepia application is yellowish, so instead I used antique and was able to retain some of the color in the Stars and Stripes.

To join in or just see many more sepia-fied photos, visit Mary T, The Teach, at Sepia Scenes.

I like it Patti! I'm a fan of leaving some color and the flags were the right spot.

Is that a church steeple in the background and part is missing?

The "antique finish" in iPhoto produces the most acceptable sepia look. I like using it, too.

What a dramatic sky in the sepia pic - It looks beautiful! I've got to figure out how to do the vignette

Interesting. I enjoyed your explanation of how you achieved your final effect. I gave up on photoshop--it was too hard. I now use "Picnik" photo editing for dummies. :)

If you want to wander down my road I’m home.

I love how the red and blue bled through the antique coloring. I absolutely love editing photos. even if it is time consuming!
Love the sybolism of your photo.
If you'd like to stop by my blog I'm at Cake Crumbs.

You did an excellent job on the sepia tone, Patti! I just love it and the very faint colors in the flags! Good job! :)
