Saturday In The Park

Saturday In The Park
A boy flying his kite at the park. But, it was actually on a Friday. I just like the group Chicago, so I used that title.

xenophora, 4,5 x 6,0, aNNa schramm and 2 other people have particularly liked this photo

What does your comparison tell you? Could you tell me, please? They both look the same to me. (But, then I can't see correctly, so I may be missing your point.)

Oh! now I remember that you did already tell me about your seeing colors in a different way than an average person would.

Unfortunately computer-generated sepia is a no-no in 'The Black & White" group.

Give me some time, I am looking for the best tool for you to 'see' the difference for yourself.

Try this:

1. make a screenshot of the part of the screen with my sample,
2. load it into your Photoshop,
3. find the Color Picker or the Eyedropper Tool (it may be called differently in your version of PS, that I don't know),
4. hoover (or click) the tool over different areas of the sample (your pic),
5 observe RGB numbers in different spots of your pic.

With pure B&W RGB components should by uniformly equal to each other.
Your pic gives me reading like:
204,153,153 (sky),
107,102,98 (boy's shirt),
100,96,93 (grass).
That results in the sepia tint.

Ah, that explains it very nicely. Thank you very much. But I have to ask this: You say "computer-generated sepia is a no-no." Evidently, some old photos acquire this color over time. I can't tell it if they do, but as long as it's not computer-generated sepia, it's all right for the group?
