Give me your pics to improve

[Daveman2]

Hey, I was wanting to practice touching-up photos in photoshop, if someone could send me a series of maybe 3 high quality photos of their truck . . .

[90blueS10]

side shots?

[Daveman2]

whatever, I am just wanting something to experiment on

[90blueS10]

uploading right now

[Daveman2]

Here's one of my own I did, it's kind of like doing HDR photos, this was taken with a crappy camera

[AJ]

what was done??

[Daveman2]

Original

various photohop filters of the photo overlaid over itself, level adjustments, brightness/contrast, I just play with combos and make it look better
this one needs more work, it looks overexposed

[90blueS10]

those two work for you?


sorry photobuckets being a fag right now

[90blueS10]

omg. it wont link to the right picture

[90blueS10]

there, those two links lol

[Daveman2]

dude your truck is in need of a heavy photo shop, way to give me a challenge, no offense but I was looking for a nice-looking truck, give me a bit on this one haha

[90blueS10]

i thought you were just messing with the picture. with layers and contrast and whatnot.
i figured they were good because of lights and shadows and the different colors in the background. but i guess i was wrong

not to make it look like a show truck haha

[Daveman2]

[layinlow88]

give it a whirl..haha

[Daveman2]

[AJ]

i see a little change but nothing drastic that makes the pics better. just imo

[DJDAudio]

I gave it a shot for fun,



Origional


Original Photo grain is a little to evident for my taste though.

[ls1s10onair]

Lets see if theres any help for the beater lol if you dont mind

[ls1s10onair]

haha i just noticed that you can see my dachshund on the porch in the reflection of the first pic

[Mr.woodscrewsNbondo]

[DJDAudio]

Hope the OP does not mind,



This is good practice!

I played with it but I lost a lot of quality in uploading.

[vivalahammer]

sweet. i wish i knew how to do this, and had the patience to do it.

[Mr.woodscrewsNbondo]

could someone give a simple explanation or the tools used to make the quality better

[AJ]

change saturation, hues, brightness, contrast, etc....just matters whats wrong with the pics.
can use tools in the Adjustments under IMAGE...

[Mr.woodscrewsNbondo]

thanks AJ, ima mess with it now

[AJ]

yeah man, try levels and curves...just mess around or look for tuts

[Daveman2]

in PS, I also duplicate the photo on top of itself, and use different effects like overlay, vivid light, and hard light in various levels of opacity to get different effects.

The black/light adjustment is one of the easiest to make it look better, it's a got a high, low, and mid adjustment

Doug I am glad you got into this lol, I hope to help everyone find some cheap/easy ways for better pics

you definitely get a feel for camera/picture quality and how much it matters when you play with photos

[slonlow2000]

Is there any certain order you adjust those in, or does it not matter?

I'm to poor for PS, so I just downloaded gimp and have been playin with it.

You just gotta play with, every picture is different and has positive/negative things about it in different spectrums

Thanks!

This is like I said before good practice!

[shortS10owner]

original quality is probably crap for you guys to begin with, but heres a cell pic I took that I like, that if was cleaned up would be a pretty good pic to me...
