When I shifted the original image into sepia, it went too yellow. So I brightened the color of the image up the scale twice, then hit the "antique" option twice to get the colors you see here. If you enlarge the image, you can see stains of green ink on the left pen's nib -- something that wouldn't have shown up in sepia. Oh, and I blurred the edges as well, but I'm sure you knew that already.Lisa Shaferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08141316010311729143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-528106444793810674.post-90879205044469163352012-08-04T12:33:31.297-06:002012-08-04T12:33:31.297-06:00The problem is that chocolate as a solid candy for...The problem is that chocolate as a solid candy form had not been invented yet at the time of the story; hence, what's being smuggled is cocoa powder. I actually did think of sprinkling cocoa powder over the cover, but then I thought it'd just look like dirt. Maybe I'll try a cover with it on later. :)Lisa Shaferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08141316010311729143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-528106444793810674.post-79333472149065665632012-08-04T12:27:51.816-06:002012-08-04T12:27:51.816-06:00I do love that cover.
