Here's Donald playing the guitar on the patio this afternoon. :o)
I used this tutorial (and a little fiddling around of my own) to convert a color image to this approximation of an old black and white photo. There are (as you might imagine) many tutorials for converting color images to B&W. I don't suppose this is the best one, but it was one of a few that happened to pull up first on Google, so I gave it a try. I'm not sure I like the addition of grain (noise). Also, it seems that this person's method of darkening the edge of the photo isn't any better than the one I've been using, so I'll probably stick to that one. . . I used a different method (plus more of my own ideas) on the same photo-- this time without the noise-- and that one is also on my Flickr photostream. I couldn't decide which I preferred, so I went with this first one.
