A Touch of Red/ Sepia Scenes

At the end of a long country driveway

Using Photoshop Elements, I duplicated the photo to create two layers. Then I converted the second layer into sepia using the old paper filter (yep, again. I like that filter!), and then, using the eraser, I removed the old paper over the red ball. Finally, I merged the two layers and voila! Hope you like it!

    I like it! I like your method too. I'd have tried to mask it out which would take far longer and probably end up looking sloppier. I'll have to try it your way next time :).

    well, the old paper filter trick is like looking at the skin on the backs of my hands so not that so much. :D

    Really nice photo. I like the old paper touch. Of course I have no idea what you are talking about. I have so much to learn.

    Now this is a very interesting job done here with the photo.
    I must say I guess the original scene would certainly be worth seeing, but this sepia touch makes it all much more interesting!

    I like the effect. I saw three guys on Photoshop the other day and they were talking about stuff I never knew about. It will take me years to catch up with my son who is something of an expert.

    It's beautiful, your spot of red. Such a nice choice of scenery for adding just a bit of color.

    I love this shot! I need to take some photo editing classes! I just got Photoshop Elements for myself for Christmas. I've barely learned anything about it.

    Wow, that's an interesting image. I had no idea you could erase layers like that to show color beneath. I'm going to have to give it a try.

    :-) I'm still trying to figure out how to add a touch of color to a black and white shot.
