I've been trying to master the art of giving a vintage look to photos using Picnik, an on-line photo-editing tool. As I've mentioned before I really like using Picnik to clean-up my photos before they go on the blog - just to auto-adjust the colour and sharpen the image a little (you can read about it here). This time however, I was aiming to create the retro kind of photo that I have seen around blogland.
I started off with only a little bit of a retro look.
And slowly got more and more faded looking.

Don't you just love weeds. Wait did I just say that - okay - let me qualify. I love a field full of wildflowers (or in other words weeds).
I'm loving the sun-washed, vintage look. Do the photos look old and faded enough?
But then again I also love the original rich purples and greens - although the contrast with the vintage ones is a bit hard on the eyes.
Which do you prefer - the vintage washed-out look or the unmanipulated photos???

Just a reminder that there is still time to enter my Summer Giveaway (ends July 13th). You can find the details here.
