I have these photos of my car, which I really like. I'd like to get one of them printed and potentially framed onto my wall, but was wondering what sort of manipulaton I can to do them to make them "better" in some way? I have photoshop I'm just not particularly trained!!








Cheers in advance! smile.

1: Maybe edit out the national speed limit signs? Deffenetly the one on the right of the image as it looks like the car has an ear.


2. Again, remove the sign on the left/ merging into the bonnet. Also the sky looks blown, this could be tweaked/ swapped for an interesting sky in photoshop.


3. Sky is blown again so maybe edit/ tweak it a little. I'm feeling a little bit of selective colour coming on, maybe black and white with the car in colour?


All of the above -> Are the number plates edited out as the pictures are being posted online, or is this how they are going to be when they get blown up?


Nice photos. A little bit of post processing and they'll be ready for the printer.

As above i think i'd try find a nicer sky to drop in and maybe tweak the saturation to match. Heres just a quick go, not my fave pic of the bunch as i think the angles a bit harsh but just thought id give you an idea of what can be done in 5 mins.

Wow cheers, that photo looks pretty ace smile.

I edited out the plates before I put them online, but will leave them on for my photo as have a private plate on it.

Again a very quick 2min go, another take on civicmans go. If i had more time here at work i'd have a proper go.

Nicely cropped, good sky, but why have you made the wheels bigger and got rid of the Ford badge? confusedconfused
