Tip: Enhance your photographs with classical colors

This tip comes from unfocusedbrain.com (via Lifehacker)

Adjusting your photographs to get the color 'just right' can be a chore. Think about this: The Old Masters of painting spent years of their lives learning about color. Why let all their effort go to waste on the walls of some museum when it could be used to give you a hand with color correction?
When Photoshop entered the CS series it included a new tool called 'Match Color.' This tools was made so that you could match a series of photos to one another.
But there is another thing you can do with 'Match Color' that is much cooler: You can match the colors in your photos to those in famous paintings.

If the examples on the site are any indication, the results can be dramatic and impressive. I wonder if a classical art lover would be instantly drawn to a photograph treated in this way, even if they didn't know the technique had been applied.

Try making a thematic group of photographs applying the colors from one famous picture, like a Van Gogh. One idea is to create a product like a calendar using the photographs, or an impressive thematic wall display.

The make-a-magazine cover tool is lots of fun too. But it is probably more suited to an unusual birthday present for family and friends than making money. You could try it as a service, but don't make it the only service you offer.

Tip: If you are going to use this service, plan all your calendars or whatever beforehand then purchase the 'three day pass' for $5USD, which means you can download hi-res versions of your creations - as many as you like.
