You are very good with a catapult Barry, reckon they were all intact before you came along! Like it as is and it makes you think what had it used to be and what is in there now. Have done a one click job in Lightroom to give it an old effect and bring out the flaky paint a bit more. If you dont like thats cool!

Like it anyway, but its not yellow!

Nice find captured well. Like my BCMs edit really brings out the great flaky texture of the paint

I liking this - nice topic and B&W works great here mate - hope you not mind, but could not resist a little play myself (says you allow peeps to edit images, so took a little advantage - hope you not mind, mate

)

Hi Barry, I like the textures in this, like the edits too. As Den said makes you want to know what sort of a life the building has had, was it in Hereford town or Brecon?

). Muriel it was in brecon between the Magistrates Court and the rear of the Fire and Stove shop.

Hi Paul,

How did you change the colour of the window to yellow, I have trying all ways, but obviously not the right way

I will do my best to explain

You need to duplicate your image by Selecting Layer - Then Select Duplicate.

Select your colour from your colour Pallet ie. Yellow.

Select the Rectangle Tool.

Now draw a rectangle covering all the window. You should have a full yellow rectangle!

Go to your layers pallete and click the drop down box next to Normal. In the list near the bottom you will see Colour.
Select Colour. your window should have turned yellow.

See Screen Grab.

You can now play around the the Opacity and fill levels for that layer and then do selective colouring if desired.

Hope this Helps.
All the best Paul

Sorry about the screen grab but I use 3 monitors.
