You did this one up beautifully, Jeff! #10854255Jeff Robinson September 27, 2013
Thanks Everyone!Richard - My first adjustments with CS5 were levels and slight increase with hue/sat on individual colors. I then used NIK Define 2 for noise. Over to Topaz Adjust 5 HDR (Light Pop Smooth preset). I then went back to NIK Silver Efex using "Old Photo". #10854266
