The Great Train Robbery
This photo is one of my favorites to come out of Photoshop Elements. I started with a color image and converted it to B&W. Then a sepia/golden texture layer was added at 20%. Notice how it filled the sky with a golden color. Afterwards I layered with solid color in a darker sepia tone at 80%, normal mode.
Next, I came in with a 1/4" border in a darker brown set to 80%. One level up I brought the black down a bit in a levels layer to take a bit of harshness out of the train. Another texture was added that has both the horizontal and vertical strokes giving the photo a look of "graininess" at 17%. This texture had a blue and green cast to it which I left alone.
I know. . . . it sounds like a lot of fiddling but it's worth it to get a result like this one.
Oh. . . . and those aren't really train robbers. The baseball cap on the young one gives it away! |
