I...She Means Well - how lovely and kind you are. I'm so glad. I rather love the Morecambe Bay shots too. The second one, in particular, was quite dull and unsatisfactory, with some ugly yellow vans in the background. I bleached out the distance, and upped the colours a bit, and that ended up with the wonderful singing stripes. It was all trial and error, really. <br /><br />To answer your question: I use Picasa, which you can download for free from the internets. It has its drawbacks, and I dare say if I were more tech savvy I might find a superior software. The most annoying is that I find its filing sysem maddening - although that might be me being stupid. Also, I wish they had a vintage function, which they do not. Basically, once you have it, go to Tuning, and there you can increase shadows, highlighting, and fill light. I find that just by increasing the shadows on a boring picture, I can make the thing spring to life. It's quite an extraordinary effect. I hope you have fun with it.Tania Kindersleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18355967725006605825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365244084462704027.post-35836711635085943362010-08-12T09:27:13.385+01:002010-08-12T09:27:13.385+01:00Can you please share with us the photo manipulatio...Can you please share with us the photo manipulation software you're using? <br />You've got me all inspired to manipulate something of my own!She Means Well...https://www.blogger.com/profile/11606884423689767178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365244084462704027.post-44659881190127101312010-08-12T09:23:11.624+01:002010-08-12T09:23:11.624+01:00I ADORE the stripey shots of Morecombe Bay.
