This is a filter that looks like a hand colored antique photo. It gives a soft melencoliy feeling to the image. The filter works best on images with out a wide range of colors. The filter is ment for darker starting photos and will end up to hi-key for bright or pastel photos. Some mid-range photos will look good in it though and it works best at a medium to close view point. There are a wide range of settings available to adjust the image to just what you want.
