So I took a shot that I'd taken when I dove Largo Dry Rock in Florida back near the end of 2005 and started to play in Paintshop (yes I know, I'm a sinner for not using photoshop) anyway... just curious what others think, some photos seem to lend themselves to these so well

We started with the original, rather blue and washed out

Making histogram changes I cleaned it up quite nicely and overall I think it is a cool picture (although a bit sad about the vignetting that is quite noticeable in the corners) and the plant life in the bottom right corner ended up a little too red for my liking

Then I played with using Historgram Equalize, not quite sure this effect really does, but the outcome is stunning, I love the effect.

Then taking that into Sepia works quite nicely too

Out of all of them.. I like the Sepia one the best.. The first color correction has too much red and the histogram one isn't really what I would expect.. but when you converted it to sepia the grain and the high contrast works.. :)
