PP My Racing Pic

Postby Pehpsi on Mon Mar 10, 2008 10:39 pm

Thought some people might like to PP a racing pic that needs a bit of work, instead of the usual landscape stuff :?:

Is there a canon or photoshop RAW version...don't do NEFs .. ;) [BTW as long as the car is in focus this one is definitely worth playing with]

Hmmm. Tiff and PSD are too big.. It should open in PS via Camera RAW? If not, how about a full size JPG?

Just a quickie with pretty much the standard settings I use for MS based pics... Except RAW conversion by ACR instead of Capture (no capture on the laptop).

Nice work lads, good to see how others prefer an image :)

My standard version, which I usually apply to my racing pics:

Touch of Contrast, Sat, Sharp and Brighten if needed.

Adjusted crop, angle, contrast and colours. Also played with the liquefy function in Photoshop to accentuate the feeling of speed. Sharpened too.
