You were fast with your entry and the result is very nice.

I'm still thinking what colors I'll use...

thank youu.. i used old kind colors lol at first it was a very light photo.. but then i changed the levels and other things to give the image a bit more depth.

The link to download the original image is down.

By the way, r_dg must've been at this location when the photo was taken.

I can't access the link to download the image. In IE, I get nothing. In Mozilla, I get Realtime Player. If I "save link as", I get an unrelated page on the RetouchPRO site.

Great work by those who could access the image.

That is strange. Have you tried to copy link location and open it in a new window?

OK.. then this is the download link from The Library of Congress

See if this works..

Hmmm, the original link posted by "T Paul"
"Download Image: Ballet
~Photo from the Library of Congress Web Site." works fine for me using IE.. I just clicked "Save" and got it..
it is a popup download thingy maybe you need to give permission to download?

I was just responding to the 'prefers not linking images' post. The link started working again about 12 hours after my initial posting the other day.

Yeppers... Doug is right .. as always!!

Thanks for trying to help, OlBaldy.

I was finally able to get the image using the "Opera" browser.

I'm still not having any luck with either IE or Mozilla. I've even cleared the cache, history and all cookies in IE, but it's just not working.

For those who go to the link but can not 'save' the file, this worked for me if you want to give it a try (sorry this is for a pc/ using IE, not sure about mac and other browsers)
Go to the link and the picture will load in your browser window. Select the 'Edit' icon (see my attached picture) and then select Edit in Photoshop CS (or other program that is available). The picture will open in your selected software and you can edit from there.
Hope it helps,
