I love the shot, Teresa. I am wondering for so long how to produce this effect in PS 7.0? Would you share?

Thanks for your kind remarks, and at the time I produced this, it probably took a verrry long time in PS because I was inexperienced! I've since learned to move a little faster - thanks to BP Photoshop classes! I have no idea exactly how this one happened, but this is what I think: 1. Converted to grayscale. 2. Lightened edges by selection and feathering or dodging (most likely dodged at the time this one was done). 3. Added grain with a filter. 4. Re-introduced color, and this is where I really did not know what I was doing, but now know the best thing to do is open History Palette before step 1. Take a snapshot, then go though all 3 steps listed. Click on the snapshot in the history palette, then select history tool, choose a soft brush, reduce opacity, and gently paint color back into selected areas. If you color outside the lines, you can go back and desaturate with sponge in tools palette. I have since used the history/snapshot method to bring color back into many color photos that have been desaturated. The key is taking the snapshot first. And I can now do this in a matter of minutes, not the best part of an afternoon.

I apologize for not responding. I don't know how this message slipped out of my notice. Thanks a lot for sharing. I'll certainly try this method.

Beautiful pic. I'm clear on the hand-tinting technique, but not feathering, can you explain this technique? Thanks. A.

Thanks Andrea & Peggy. Orig photo was taken outdoors on a deck. The edges of this image as you see them now are just about faded to white. With selections tool mark photo edges (right click I think) to set pixel depth needed to feather with a lighten option, or you can use dodge tool with varying opacities to also wash edges to white, which is how this was done. Another method would be vignette. I now do this with nik (p/s add-on) filters, but at time this was created, did not own nik software.
