think it was, suggested they may look good in a warm tone look.  I just
uploaded the photos with the warm tone:

Harrison,

Interesting effect without question. However, anytime I see this "warm old
time photo sepia look" making modern day photos look like "old time images"
they never do what a real image of the time looks like. 

Maybe it's because the modern day lenses and film or digi cards don't create
the sort of "old time "un-sharpness" we see in pictures from the 1800's and
1900's?

I suppose it's just me in this relationship when sepia tone is added to
modern images. But maybe there's away to "soften?" or give the image a kind
of "glow" along with the sepia effect to the modern day image to make the
toning and recorded image look very much old time?

Just a passing thought. The comments have nothing to do with the quality of
the recorded moments as they're all fine as usual when you do your thing!
