Some scenes from New Orleans Square, 1960's, early 70's

For this weeks land, I thought I'd post some images from New Orleans Square. Sorry if the pictures are a bit red, I'm still trying to figure out Photoshop. Maybe someone who's more knowledgeable about it can help out.

anyway, back on topic, great pics, even if their red, they are appreciated!

Great pics - Looks like Flip Wilson tap dancing on the street.

They also had stores back then that sold things besides t-shirts and plush toys.

Some that are overly red, you may want to just turn them over to black and white. There's no hope of restoring the original colour of most of them, anyway.

Besides, you can paint the colours in after you turn it to B&W.

Here's the rest.

I actually kinda like the red look, but black and white would look awesome too. Its crazy to look at that store and how nicely decorated it was.

Here's some pictures I fixed up. Here's how I do it. I use Photoshop 5.0
1. open the file.
2. Go to image > Adjust > Auto levels (this will fix it a little)
3. go to image >Adjust > Color Balance
The one I have has a window that looks kinda like this:

Cyan l____________l_____________l Red
Magenta l____________l_____________l Green
Yellow l____________l_____________l Blue

4. move the the First slider to around -60 to -80 , towards Cyan.
5. move the the second slider to around 60 to 80 , towards green.
I might take some adjustments but this is just the basic.
