Continuing with a building motif I browsed in Picasa 3 and did a search on "buildings" and came up with this photograph. Taken by my son Keir M. Gatzka, I believe in Toledo, Ohio. "Rolison Hardware," was established in 1914, but this location was built in 1923.
I used Paint.NET and applied the Ink Sketch filter with color full up and the ink reduced. I saved the file and opened in PhotoPaint where I resized it for the web. Did some cleaning up of the white sky, selected it with the wand and filled it with a sunset fill.
I used the Tone Curve for depth and increased the saturation by 7. I added a brick brown border of about 50 pixels. I selected this with the wand, and applied the 3D Bevel effect. With the mask still in place I applied the Effects> Texture> Plastic> filter to the frame, using the brick red color again.
