[Leica] Tall ships - sepia toned

[douglas.sharp at gmx.de (Douglas Sharp)]

Thanks Aaron, I got 'em bookmarked.
That's what I was trying to get to using the limited functions of 
PS-Elements 3.
Those are some VERY nice photos you made.
When I'm rich and famous (probaly be PS-CS 9 or so) I must splash out on 
a fully fledged PS
software, I quite often end up running into brick walls with Elements.

Yep, did that. Then scanned in a couple of representative Sutcliffe 
shots and selected a few typical colours, B W and Grey,
also the tone for sea, canvas and stone houses. stored these as a color 
bar image and pick and replace the ones I need.
A long way around but it very nearly works.
