Love the Vignetting technique... even a better job how you photoshopped the sharpies off the wall...

here is a before and after. "Old Carriage"
Before, or straight out of the camera.
After! I dropped the opacity of the sharpened layer to 49%. Thought my colors didn't look natural. Merged down. Duplicated and changed the blend mode to soft light. I reduced that opacity to 55%.

Interesting technique ... after making the changes to the duplicate layer, I duplicated that layer and lowered the opacity to 50%.

It really did improve the looks of this picture. I did add a lens flare.

Cool and very east/fast technique, Kimi,
...just had to do one more,
In both instances, "before" is straight from the camera - untouched. You know from past homework I can't leave well enough alone. For both I stamped visible (Shift-Ctrl-Alt-E) and changed the blend mode of that layer to Soft Light.

O.K. I have been trying for an hour to post my before and afters and just can't seem to get them to upload. Maybe I need the instructions on the size I need to put them so they won't be big? Can anyone help!

Hi Bern
If you are attaching to the post, the largest size can only be 500 pixels.
