Hm, ok. Thx for the tips! I have a lot more to learn in the endless possibilities of PS!

, I really like that edit too. You're the man.

Yeah, PS is a bitch if you don't have someone actually show you what they did to edit an image. I've learned by watching tutorials and then playing around with things I learned. It takes practice, but less than you'd think.

BTW, the image itself is sweet. Nice shot. I love the angle. I'd also like to know more about the spoiler lip on that 3 series. Very nice looking.

Thx! I think its a Hamaan front lip.

^ cool building... I wonder how that would look in B&W?

M_Six · 12-14-2010, 12:55 PM

And maybe drop out that more modern building on the right.

^ I like how you fixed the white balance of the photo, but it's tough to see the lines of your nice ride since it looks very black. Up the shadow maybe?

Chewy734 · 12-14-2010, 08:19 PM

Here's one I just got done editing...

It came out ok, but not as good as I would've liked. I didn't want to spend more than 10 minutes on it (or find my macro lens) right now.

In photoshop use the brush tool, set mode to linear light, adjust size of brush and color accordingly. I usually start with a blue base and then white on top.

man frankie, i think those clouds are a little too intense! Almost look like smoke clouds towards the right portion of the frame.

Chewy734 · 12-20-2010, 09:32 AM

Although I do like the rest of the editing you did, I think you went a bit overboard with the sky Frankie

M_Six · 12-20-2010, 10:43 AM

Geez, California wildfires closing in on you?

FrankiE90 · 12-20-2010, 04:26 PM

I went overboard with the clouds, huh?...

...Puffy clouds FTW!
