Nice!
How did you apply the sepia? I know there are many different ways of doing it in Pshop.

The only thing I would have done differently (but this is my own taste) is to soften it a bit

the site is great for learning a whole variety of PP techniques... I'm sure the same ideas are useful for photoshop also...

Thanks

Matt: I like the Gimp. Photoshop definitely has pro's over the gimp, such as simple tasks like actions etc... with the gimp you can have pseudo type actions, but they need to be written in code... For my limited knowledge in PP the gimp does what I need most of the time....
I haven't heard anyone comment on the background... which could be a good thing as it's a fake. The original picture is actually just in our lounge room, with kids toys all over the place, horizontals all wrong, and a nasty shadow from the flash.... fyi i used a tutorial from the above posted site to achieve the fake portrait style background...
Know that you know the background is heavily processed, does it detract from the shot?

Posted: Tue Oct 26, 2004 2:28 pmI don't believe it detracts at all. It could as easily be a studio backdrop.
I did notice the background when I saw the pic and was going to ask how you painted your walls at home - I was going to fish for rennovation ideas. Now all I have to do is post process my house and I will be laughing
