I guess I will have to crop it all off... I wanted to leave the deck in the pic {it's from Victorious}, but then it's too deep.
What is Sepia toning?

Sepia toning is that slight yellow/brown tint that old pictures used to have. | |

Country: | First of all, what program are you using? If you are using Photoshop, put a gradient map on, brown fading to white. Hope that helps! I can explain better when I get home or am not on my iPod. I could even do it if you want.

I just used paint, it doesn't work nearly as well....
I was looking for a color image of this but I couldn't find one.
{It is the "Pedestal" convoy to Malta in 1942, that's the HMS Indomitable, with the HMS Eagle following. Picture taken from the deck of the HMS Victorious}
How is this for a "Beau" pic?

Country: | That's cool FB color on top of mono. I reckon if you could make the Beau a little bigger then overlap say the carrier island just a tad the 3d effect would really stand out, but even as it is I like it. | |

I think the Beau would look better a little bigger, as it would show more detail
I wanted to use an original carrier pic that was a little wider to allow more room for the Beau, but I don't know if it's possible to widen a pic that had previously been cropped?
