Sepia Telephone

[zippy25]

Looking for advice on how to make this photo better. Was trying to reproduce something that airfrogusmc posted about 2 weeks ago, but his turned out much much better. Have been having problems with this post, since I deleted the photo in order to re-post it with better PP, but lost the data somehow. I have since found it, and posted below...Any advice, comments, critiques, or skewering would be appreciated and welcome. Thanks

Cool shot! can you link to the original so we can see your frame of reference?

Somehow I have lost the file. I was trying to repost the photo with some minor changes and lost the photo to what is being termed "corrupt data". I will try to get it back if I can and re-post.`Sorry:(

I reloaded it off of my camers, thankfully I did not delete it. Here are the sepia and the origianl with no PP

OK. Here is the look you were going for.

You have to start off by desaturating the image before applying the sepia coloring. :D

I like that one much better. Thanks. I did not know that it needed to be done in that order...:confused:

I still think I needto go back to the drawing board on this one. :(

I don't think that that is required, because you now know how to get the look you want. :D
