Orginal ImageThe image I started with is a scan of a photo taken in winter, which was then reduced to grey scale. Not a bad photo, but a bit dull because the sky was overcast. Still, it is a good source for further manipulation in Photo-Paint of Corel as you will see below.
Colour and VignetteNext, I applied Image - Adjust - Color Hue - Add Yellow 10, which gives the image a slight sepia tint. I used the Effects - Creative - Vignette which creates the fuzzy effect around the image.
Add Some SnowBelow is the completed image, after applying Effects - Creative - Weather - Snow, and with text entered which has the BladePro filter applied to it.Now the Christmas card ready for (electronic) despatch!
Before and After ComparisonIn conclusion a quick vew of the two images -- the starting one and the finished product.
