Vintage fun

Just a little Photoshop tip when doing these re-creations...film of the period didn't respond very well to the red end of the spectrum so if you can separate your image into the three channels, red, green and blue, try dropping out the red channel completely and then convert to a black and white or sepia.

I'm really enjoying seeing these conversions...my suggestion to Arlen is to get a pair of false muttonchop sideburns and go for that hirsute look...I think that that would put it over the top.

I'll have to have a go at that.
It's paint shop pro I use since I can't work photoshop at all, but I'm pretty sure there's a similar option of RGB.

Thanks for the tip!

I don't have photoshop but looks fun ageing pictures and will have to have a go with another program!

The pipe just adds that little extra je ne sais crois Arlen

I use the GIMP. It is available for most Operating Systems, and its free! Click Here for the main site., or Click Here for GIMP for Windows.

Fantastic pics, everyone!
Trefor, if you'd like I can make one of you.

I know it's not necessarily a kilted vintage photo, but here is one for the thread:

The fellow in the photo with me is a fellow member of the local St. Andrew's Society and member of the Clan Kerr. We do a program of traditional Ozarks legends and superstitions (with a few Scottish stories thrown in for good measure) for local groups, state/national parks, etc.

Cheers,

Todd
