Nelson Statue 200th Anniversary

John

Can you tell me what tool/technique you used to do the tinting. I would like to get that effect on a photo of the war memorial in our local park.

Dave

Any idea where that house is?

Thanks both

Hello T
Depending on what software you have there's dfferent ways of going about it.
I have Photoshop, Coral Paintshop Pro, Serif Photoplus, and the one I did this in which is Microsoft Digital Image Suite.
I first de-saturated the photo, hence turning it black and white, then choosing a very small brush and picking a colour I just painted over the statue twice, second time to bring out the highlights.
Hope this helps, I would be only too glad to do it for you if you send me a copy of the pic and what you want doing, that's if it's not private of course.
Regards John.

Thanks very much for that.

I have Photoshop so I'll have a go myself. If I completely mess up I'll take you up on your kind offer.

According to Wikipedia some more of Ganges timbers used in constructing Burgh Island Hotel.

(Sorry can't make Link work - but just search on HMS Ganges in Wikipedia.)
