One I did this afternoon

[R988]

I happened to have my camera with me today and took a few snaps, including this one of a TT parked in a side street. I thought it would make a nice photo and took a few shots. Got them back home and they turned out ok, but my ancient camera isn't really up to the job of high quality pics so I had fiddle around in Paintshop Pro to see what I could come up with. I haven't really used Paintshop for serious image tweaking before and it has nowhere near the tweakability of PS, but I still managed to get what I think is a reasonable result, considering my vastly inferior equipment.

Also did this one of a Boxster though I dont think it is as good, I went a bit overboard on the crop I think.

If you are as inexperienced post processing as you say you are (and I've no reason to doubt) then that's a bl**dy good result you've ended up with. The only thing I'd have done differently is to have cloned out the outflow pipes on the building and the white splodges on the road in front of the car. Nice image

Am I the only one who thinks that portrait mode shots lose out, impact wise, when you have to keep scrolling up and down to see all the image? Who else thinks that it might be best to post, say, 640 pixels maximum in the virtical, so you can see it all?

Martin.

PS - sorry for the slight hijack.

Yep, I can see it all It only takes a 17" monitor running at 1280 x 1024 (native) res.

I'm not necessarily inexperienced in post procesing, just doing it using PSP

I agree on the height thing, I run a high resolution 1400 by 1050 on my screen so I can see the whole thing. It was actually originally a lot higher and I cut it down quite a bit

i like the tones in the building, I would say though that the TT is too dark
