This is the original picture. That's me on the horse, with my 14 month old niece and my dad standing next to us. My niece's first ride! :)
With this picture, I simply overlaid (or multiplied) a copy of the original. It brightens the picture somewhat, and shows more contrast, I think.
For this, I had to play around for a while to get the colors I wanted. There is a VERY wide variety that can be done, and I'll try to get one or two of them up here too. I call this "sepia tone", though I'm sure there are other names for it.
In this picture, I made a "mask" in the sepia tone and had it cut out so that the color could show through.
Basically the same as the last one, only this time leaving my niece and myself in sepia tones. Kind of interesting...
Again, basically the same as the last two, only with a larger selected area to allow the color through.
An inverse of the last picture. I think it makes it look like a composite of an antique photo and a recent one.
Instead of sepia tones, I simply discarded all color information, making it a black/white picture.
This one uses a burgandy tone set, instead of sepia.
This is very similar to the burgandy tone, however it is a slight variation - red. There are aqua, green, brown, blue and purple variations as well, but I thought these two were the most pleasing to the eye.
This was a "just for fun" picture. It makes it look more like something that was painted, rather than a scanned photo. There are many variables associated with the "filter" I applied, but I liked these results best. :)
