Sometimes you take that photo that, apart from its colour, is rather anachronistic. Back in 2005 I was at the Flying Legends Airshow at IMW Duxford in Cambridgeshire. Spitfires, hurricanes, B17 and Lancaster bombers were a few of the aircraft flying that day. But what made this visit even more special were the number of flyers and ground crew wearing period costumes. Standard colour photos of such events does not look right. So, with a few minutes on my hands and a fiddle in photoshop I take an 'average' colour photo and turn it into something a bit more classic.

I live in Australia and as you know the weather can get quite hot here. A nasty result of this for photography is sweat sheen and “shiny face” syndrome. These can make a photo look rather horrid. In my first PhotoShop tutorial I will show you a simple but very effective way to reduce, or even remove, the sweat sheen on a photograph.
