When Essex and Photoshop Collided...

[Zad]

(This first appeared on the events/meetings area, but I have been advised that the nice people in Photo & Video may be interested too, so here it is.)

Many thanks to Trackdemon (Steve) for allowing me to post these. Inspired by his stunning photos, I couldn't resist the temptation to gild the lily. A couple of hours of Photoshop-ing later and these popped out. I make no apology for the mid '80s Autocar / Fast Lane magazine look. The more I look at them, the more I wish I had perhaps dropped the saturation on the cars even more, but hey ho, here goes.

Of course Steve retains copyright, all the good bits are his, all the bad bits are mine. I may get around to posting some of my own (un-Photoshop-ed) stuff when I get some of the decent ones scanned in.

Top photo's to begin with and IMHO you've handled them brilliantly too.

Cheers Mike,

They look great if do say so myself... I couldn't resist throwing my quick'n'dirty effort into the ring too:

I want that Aston.

Great pictures guys.

Great pictures chaps. Sometimes that 80's Fast Lane effect really looks the dogs and you've done the 360 and DB9 real justice.

Awesome, I love the color spoting. Following last weeks thread about how to do it I've been playing around.

Looks like you've desaturated the background and then given it a sepia tone (either that or my monitor's on it's way out!!)
