As far as fixing the pixelation I would make a layer, do a gausie and blur filter to it and then erase the filter from the tree etc. It wouldn't be a straight image any longer but what do you care right?Drew Nashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01336543766166335977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5614814647654054466.post-57477166703127241472009-07-14T21:01:49.703-06:002009-07-14T21:01:49.703-06:00I like the color better the sky is a great backgro...I like the color better the sky is a great backgroud for the tree. I love black and white also but I don't have a clue how to convert it so I shoot it in black and which whick is risky because that's all you get, haha. Maybe try to do brown tones instead of the black if you want the aged look? I think the white in the wood needs to be a little brighter to make it pop! Play with it some more and post it again if you want.

I like 'em both, but give the edge to the B&W.Mark A.
