 Taken at Anime Expo 2004. kaliko_rosa and Tenshi Musouka as a FABULOUS Kaoru and Kenshin from the anime "Rurouni Kenshin."

Editing:
- First I color corrected the original image, then I realized I hated the background because it was too busy.
- I selected the two of them and (I love Paint Shop Pro) saved the selection so I could come back to it.
- I played around with several ways of blurring the background, but didn't like any.
- The next morning (I did everything else the night before) I searched Yahoo! Images for a suitible background.
- I inserted it into the selection (I LOVE Paint Shop Pro!) and color corrected it and the image to match.
- I wanted to make it "aged" so I desaturated it some.
- It needed a border so I chose one thta made it look like it had come from a family album, added the text and viola!
- Came back later, realized it needed some noise to add to the "aged" effect, and there we go.

My favorite of the tries.

Nicely done. I wish I knew how to do half of what you did in PSP.
