Nice sepia-ish version though. I like it alot.

That's really funny you mention the Jedi thing! That thought was racing through my head.......but I held off and just went for a more 'sureal' look. LOL!

here we go. I added a duplicate layer and used a gaussian blur across it. I erased back down to the areas I wanted sharp (the individual water drops, eye, nose, ear etc). Then a conversion to greyscale and a curves adjustment.

also, one with just a color correction. used a threshold layer to determine the black and white points of a curves layer.

Thanks all for you attempts. There was no real "look" I was trying to achieve. Just something that would give the pic a bit of an edge. I would have to say that Feihung08 #2 - standard sepia with some diffuse glow would have to be fav attempt. I'll have to give that a go. The effect on the water is cool. I did actually do a diffuse glow attempt myself, but on a B&W version, not sepia. Next fav would be tim's #2 - ethereal glow. It's probably a little too much, but I will give the soft focus thing a go.

Thanks again all

Cool Mal! Glad you liked it! PM me if you want the exact technique I used. I just recently came across this technique for sepia and now I find myself doing it to every picture in my inventory!

I too like Tim's "ethereal glow"! We'll have to get his recipe from him!

Thanks again everyone. This is my final product. Kind of a combination of other attempts. I am very happy with it. Tell me what you think?

Google it - it's a free action I downloaded.

Yer, I found it easy enough. I'll re-locate the site if you like?

Sailfish - excellent job! The mix between mine and Tim's seems to be the perfect combo, and you did a great job blending them!

Thanks Tim! As always!

Happy to help

Yervant only gives you the free trial to make 5 pages, correct?

Or did I click wrong?

I've done heaps of images with mine, I suspect you got the wrong one. Mine's "YervantEffects.atn". I'd rather not stick it on my web server in case it's copyrighted, so best if someone finds it and posts the link. If you can't I can probably find where I got it from.

Tim, your good with this stuff, do you have any tricks to a post I stuck up on a different page regarding batch processing of TIFFS to JPEGS?!?!
