Here is my first Irfan edit. It's not a lot, I just wanted to washout some of the color and add a hint of yellow to give it the feeling of vintage film. I did it originally for my avatar, but  the full size picture looked good enough that I decided to post it.


Original:



Edit:      



Any comments on the saturation / color combination? Does it look authentic or is there some other tweaking that could make it better?

I like the edit. Looks more realistic than the original.

The lighting in #2 is much better than #1  ;D

Great shot, really good for a first edit!

Nice editting, but the shot looks a bit hazy to me. Try darkening it a bit. (If you use photoshop, use the dodge tool)

EDIT: Whoops, just read you used Irfanview...

I played around a bit with this shot in photoshop and this is what I got. I hope you don't mind me posting this...



I played a bit with the levels, burnt it, dodged it and I applied some photo filters. Nothing special really...

now that looks real! that one definatly has the old film look

Wow, the planes really jump out of the screen. One of these days I'll buy/learn how to use photoshop. Clearly it does wonders in the right hands.

Thanks for the kind words.

Maybe there are other programs that can also do things like this. I never worked with Irfanview, so I don't know what it does exactly. Another good free image editing program is Gimp. (Google it! )

However, photoshop and paint shop pro are the best programs there are, but alos the most expensive.  ;D
