Does anyone know how I can do something clever on the computer with my old B&W Walk in the Woods photo?

I took it with an old SLR camera beginning with a Z - Russian i think, and enlarged it at evening class (when I was a girl!)

Quite good composition i thought …...

Hi Jacquie
Well it all depends what you wish to do??????......do you wish to colour it, enlarge it, make it look older, cut something out, add something, sharpen it, give it a fuzzy look, or just print off more copies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.... the mind boggles!!!
Good shot though…........taken with a “ZENITH”....yes I had one of those too…cheap but effective.
Happy piccieing!!!!!

Mike.

thanks Mike!
Yes a Zenith. Big square heavy thing. Gave it away. I’ve still got my Pentax which is over 30yrs. I don’t own a digital yet.
Yes, silly question i guess … sorry Mr C Clogs! Just to make it a clearer image I suppose I meant.
Lots of photo opps at the mo with the bluebell woods and blossom but sometimes it’s nicer just to walk and enjoy rather than snap snap snapping!

Right Jacquie
Now that it is as clear as mud!!!!!......we will proceed!!!
First of all go to the “Picassa” site and download their photo compiler program “Picassa2” for free!!!!!! Once you have done that it will upload all of the pics on your computer and put them into albums or files,where you designate. Once that is complete find the pic you require and click it into work mode….......then go to the box that does all of the magic things….and you can work on it for hours and do all of the above mentioned things I told you about previously…........once you get it the way you like it…..Bob’s your uncle!!!!!!!!!
Hope this helps….....have fun.
