None of the downloaded photo editors will do this faded mist effect. And
this is how we need the photos. Even lighter with no color distortion if
possible.

PhotoFiltre does it. Load the image and use:

This has gone to the point of trolling...I out of it.

Yeah IIRC this same guy had a long round of something similar a
week or so ago, and kept asking the same question endless times
even after JC had provided him with an answer.

I'm sorry. I suffered a mild stroke a few years back. So there's some
memory problems. Thanks for your patience.

That's okay. Sometimes we automatically think the worst of people. Just
the nature of newsgroups I suppose, as there are a lot of strange people
in the world (not me though :-)).

LOL! I admit to being a bit strange but I try not to think the worst of
people. :^)

See my reply to your other post, which said...
I just opened each of your pictures in LighBox Free Editor...
Homepage: http://www.lightboxeditor.com/
Download: http://www.lightboxeditor.com/lightboxfree.exe
...and clicked one button ("Pre-Balance") and it did an excellent job
on both of them. You can play with other controls to make them even
better, but the were acceptable as-is after this one click.

Obviously I'm missing something because I got the same effect by setting the
brightness level to 180 in Irfanview.

Oops! I should learn to read before I reply. Didn't realize that the
misty, washed-out effect was the goal, not the starting point. Ignore
me.

You're not missing anything. That did work. It worked even better than Photo
Deluxe when used with the mist filter. I want to thank you all again for you
patience. She's got a pic on the laptop now that's just perfect for her
nature page. Beautiful. Looks like a misty forest. We're happy. I knew we'd
find the answer here.

Use opacity slider (you can get much lighter than these), flatten image or
export if saving as .jpg.

Got it! This is a better program than what we were all using. Those plugins
must have made all the difference.

Sure looks like the same effect if you up the gamma for an image. If
max gamma isn't quite faint enough, start lowering contrast. Probably
all the image editors mentioned can adjust gamma and contrast.

I believe several of these programs are the answer. She really liked that
misty effect from PhotoPhiltre. We'll have plenty of time to "play" with
this software since we'll be offline for a week as the home office is being
repainted, updated and wireless added.
