Changing a Photograph’s Basic Color
New actions or effects in Photoshop Elements 5 make these tasks simple and quick.
Color Photo to Sepia & Black/White Monochrome
The original of a stop made on the French Riviera. When I saw this I really liked the different colors.
My change to sepia but I still liked some of the color that I left it in selective places. This sepia feature does a nice job.
Color to Black & White
Easy to turn a photograph into sepia, just as easy to change to black & white. The original of some ruins in Turkey.
I have noticed with conversion from color to black and white is that the blacks lack richness. I think Elements 5 does a very good handling the blacks.
Quick Fix

Perhaps this will be recognized as the dome and the high alter of Saint Peter, Rome. Interiors are most challenging but the Quick fix of Elements 5 quickly renders a dark photograph acceptable.
Photo Layouts
Sort'a busy. The background is of the cliffs of the caldera that comprises Santorini. Probably would not normally use such a background but this is experimentation! I notice that the edge of the two images are showing and I could not make remove it. This came about during some tweaking of the position of the embedded images. Should'a left well enough alone.
