We shoot raw so In Lightroom 4 I toned down the highlights, lightened shadows and pushed the clarity up. Topaz Clarity strong interior was my next step. I then went to Nik Color Efex where I added the boarder and a slight vignette by using the lighten/darken center. A very slight high pass sharpening was my last step.
Totally adore that grain!

Love that you were able to capture the muted colors, what kind of post processing did you do?

Great job with the processing…love the muted colors combined with the textures. Very nice!

I’m a fan of this processing too…love the grungy almost-pen-and-ink texture to the letters.

I hope that’s on a wall somewhere. It’s beautiful … and I want the font!

No doubt, it’s beautiful, merely beautiful.

That’s great. That’s the kind of print I’d like hanging on my wall.

That would look great framed and on a wall! In my house!

Beautiful! Love the texture and the colors – your entire series of wood type photos is fascinating. The printing process was so complex and precise.
