Sepia Toned
Couldn't begin to remember all I did...but I know I used'd Greg's tip on duplicating with blend mode set to multiply, Steve's tip on converting to gray scale and back to 16M colors, tried to take some of the critics advise and put noise in background (some seemed to disappear when I converted to .jpeg) and also liked the gradient background so I tried it. I also liked the sepia tone so I used it also.
