Which of the two shots gives a more feel of a WWII pic?

i think if you took the black and white one, and lowered the contrast to make it a bit less sharp, it would be perfect.

cheers

Which one of these?


I've added noise on this sepia pic

Howdy shonen,

Not sure which software you're using, but just as a suggestion....actually, first, a question. Can you do 'layers'? If so, can you layer the B&W photo with the sepia-toned one?
Give it go and see what you get. I have looked through my share of old photograph's, and my first discriptive impression would be a combination of both of those effects.
And, given the ability to input 'percentage's'....I would crank the sepia photo down to about 15-20%.
hth.

Tread.

Oh...also. cut down on the "distortion' (?)....this is not a Barbara Streisand photo shoot! #:-)

Oopss... sorry for some missing information. Both the original sepia and B&W were done using my Canon Powershot G2. As for the blur and special effects, I tried using Adobe Photoshop. I'll try your technique
