Here is a photo I took at Bedford a few weeks ago, is it me or does it reposonds amazingly to a bit of Photoshop?


Fig 1: (Sorry i've spent the last week writing a technical report ) The original photo.



Fig 2: A bit of a crop.


Fig 3: Contrast - To infinity and beyond!


Fig 4: For that original old feeling. (Colour wasn't invented until the 80's right?)

PS

Sorry Phil! Good PSing by the way......

Looks good!! Might it benefit from a bit less of a crop so the striped kerb is still in frame? Just a thought, as I don't have PS on the puter at work I can't fiddle myself...

Hope you don't mind, I'm bored and had a play. B&W everything but the car, added some noise and cropped.

Edit: ...and blurred the background a bit more.

It's essentially easy. 1. Get an image, preferably perfectly side-on. 2. Open two instances of the image in PSP/Photoshop. 3. Reduce the width of one of the images by 50%. 4. Cut the wheel and wheel arch from the original image. 5. Copy on to reduced image and blend to suit.

for the best results full side on like above and 800px wide

80s: friend of mine had an RS2000 and rallied this piece of kit in the woods at nights. 100 mph through mud and sand didn't dare sit next to him . . . But then: I was in my teens.
