Well, I tend to agree. I gave one of the layers a slight motion blur because it looked too damn clean being originally shot on a digital camera, and one thing I still havent warmed up to is the almost too clean look digital cameras give. I think some of all us older film people may think this. I then sharpened the hell out of the burr layer, and thats where the textured look came from. I didnt import any outside texture. I thought that was kind of cool, but perhaps it took me in a different direction than I started out for. Bev, maybe a lesser layer opacity would have less blur and texture. Your right Michelle... old photos are indeed more yellow! Ill check out that web site Misha. And PC/bsteph, I took down the green saturation on the lawn & bushes, and will post in the gallery later! I appreciate you all, and Im gonna start over on this one. PS I still kind of like the combination of the blur look with the rough sharp edges. Most unusual.
