Hi Derby thanks for your answer and the link. I'm always interested in some form of help for Photoshop and will have a look there today :-)
Scanning an old photograph in and taking the edges is also a good idea I received here... I will have a look at the flee market for them. Thanks to anybody helped me by offering advices and different words too, namely Shel, Cotty and Graywolf :-) greetings Markus >>-----Original Message----- >>From: Derby Chang [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >>Sent: Saturday, July 16, 2005 7:08 AM >>To: [email protected] >>Subject: Re: Digital postcards >> >> >>Markus Maurer wrote: >> >>>Hi Pentaxians >>> >>>I would like to try producing some digital postcards with a certain >>>nostalgic old look. >>>Therefore I would like to make the edges like the ones of very >>old photos - >>>"dentate" or stamp alike, >>>I don't know the exact wording. >>> >>>Does anybody know of a filter or Photoshop plug-in or another >>way to produce >>>this effect? >>> >>>An experimental work in progress of an advertising puzzle here: >>> >>>http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=3543490 >>> >>> >>> >>>any other ideas are also welcome of course >>>greetings >>>Markus >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> >> >>You mean scalloped edges?
