I saw this on Kimi's Blog...Very cool...I do have a question...do you normally use it on a pic with several colors in it...or maybe something that already has brown??? I tried it on one and the background turned a bit orange...so basically it just gives a more burnished color, correct...I would like to see more examples of using this!!

Terri, I mostly use the chocolate filter on some of my B/W's. Never tried them on color photos.

Terri, I agree with Suzi. Most of the time I use it on black and whites. It is rare that I use on a color image. :P

I just tried this one out, too. Thanks, Kimi - I'll try this on a few more. I was puzzled when I chose the colour first of all as it looked a little green, but it works well.

I'll admit that I use chocolate filters not only on BWs but also my colored images as well to create bolder muted colorings.... :) I used this a lot on my son's football photos... Go here for an example: http://mommyandmephotography.smugmug.com/gallery/3390049_xFWpj#189466154_U43zy

Awesome photos, Denise. I love the use of the chocolate filter on them. I'll have to try it on something other than B & W.
