Gaussian Blur Overlays
Posted by kasrak on Jan 6, 2007This is an interesting technique that intensifies and saturates the colors in the image, increases contrast, and adds a slightly hazy, "dreamy" feel to the image.
Sepia Toning
Posted by kasrak on Jan 6, 2007In this tutorial I'll show you how to sepia tone a color or black and white image. This technique is modeled on the traditional darkroom method of sepia toning in that the sepia color is applied "unevenly" to areas of different tonality. It works much better than most of the simple methods I've seen for image editors and provides great control!
