Default Shop front straightened and sepia-ed

Another before and after from moi! I tried to age this photo... not sure if it works or not. I straightened and sepia filtered the photo all on Picasa... Think if I had a newer version of Photoshop I'd have verically straightened? the photo to compensate for the camera angle as well, but as I don't this was the best I could do!

Original:



Finished result:

i like what you have done.

It plays with my eyes though there are that many differing lines verticals and horizontals!

they obviously dont build anywhere near straight there!!!

Good pic tho, i like stuff like that!

I'm not sure whether I should have cropped out the shutters at the top of the photo?

I really like what you did! I would like to see a cropped image-maybe just of the doors? Great job though!!! How did you straighten it?

Just using Picasa... it's a google tool you can download. There's a slider you move which rotates the photo until it's straight.

I also like what you've done. Perhaps cropping the photo to just include the door would be nice, but it's nice the way it is! Nice job!

The sepia really makes the "aging" in the building stand out, it looks amazing. I like it in color, too - it shows more dirt and decay.
