 What's your FAVORITE photo style?

For me i guess it depends on the layout of course, but i just LOVE LOVE LOVE sepia photos.

 I love to use B&W - I shot a lot of b&w when I had my film camera. It just has a character about it. I have a favorite chocolate action that I like to use too.

I like them all depends on the style of the layout & photo but I have a special place for  B&W photos.

CHOCOLATE?!??!?! yum

 For layouts I usually go with colour cuz I like to pull colours from the photo, but for portraits I love sepia tones. It is so pretty! B&W is beautiful I find for scenery and architecture like photos.

Here's a layout with it.




The action is by Krisztina Kakulya (and I should be more diligent about giving her credit :::Blush:::)

I could never choose!!  I love them all.  I also particularly love color photos with a high intensity saturation to them. 

 I love all types, but I really enjoy B & W!

 I can't pick either...

 I'm a wierdy, I really like to mute the colors of a photo by blending it with a black & white copy

 I usually print color from scrapping, but I LOVE B&W and Sepia- so now I'm printing out some sepia for the LO I'm working on!!!

For me, it really depends on the photo. If I've got awesome color, I leave it alone. 

Black and white, and sepia, are good scrappy choices sometimes when the colors within the pic clash, or if you can't find a good color match with kits. And actually I have this photoshop action for my b/w pics that adds a touch more brown to them, to warm them up. Like Tracy's chocolate action, probably!

 There is a color on my program called Selenium that's somewhere in between the two. It has a truly old fashioned look. That's what I like best. Sepia often looks too "yellow or orange" for me so I end up with black and white.

 I normally use either color or B&W - I particularly love B&W with a pop of color

Im with you on this one - I usually photoshop it a little darker, so I bet that's similar to your choice of Selenium. Now im looking at all the layouts LOL!!!! I love the old look too.

 I like both color and black & white photos.

 Well first off I love all three. But right now I prefere to have a B/W photo underneat a colored photo that I lower the opacity on, so I get a mix of color and B/W, like I´ve done on this page

 90% of mine are color, I'm not sure what it is. I love colors and love bringing out the colors in photos with my layouts. I find it hard to scrap a photo with no color, there is no inspiration for me I guess.

 Not a sepia gal...but I do like b&w

 Color most of the time, but I do love B&W, chocolate and then sepia  (in that order
