    I think that something is definitly going on there, and I see more than I see
    I would probably print it BW and grainier, but it's my personal preference.

    Gee, Irakly, I'm dissapointed. I was hoping for a good cut down from you. You're slipping.

    Re: duotone...

    Very Mysterious, Because I can't tell what it is!! Not sure what a duotone is... lol... unless you just meant that its two colors ?
    The peeling paint on the window is interesting, "they" use the saying " like watching paint dry" to mean boring... but yet peeled paint is so interesting.... hm, the shadows are interesting and the bright object ( that i was referring to when I said I didn't know what it was) kinda looks like a cat to me.. The light stretches from right to left, sorta like whiskers... on a one-eyed cat...

    lol Rachel!! Well, so much for my using the dodge tool to make a candle in glass look like its glowing .lololol! This was a pic I took of a candle in a window at the beach. It was behind the screen and the shadow of the rafters is to the left.

    Duotone is a mode in photoshop where you can modify greyscale images using the pantone colors. go to image/mode/duotone. This is the first time I did it and it was just playing around. Thats another reason why I really didnt want it in the gallery. I don't think this system will work for the forum.

    Well, thanks for looking and posting.Guess the other 65 people had nothing to say.

    BTW, you have to be careful with duotones if you want to print them. Tritone, or, even better, quadtone will give you way more flexibility and a much smoother print.

    Well, that explains why I didn't know what it was! I have PS Elements... Maybe the candle was a bust (as far as how you wanted it to look) but you still have the other elements to work with ( shadow/peeling paint) ???
