Seen Better Days
I did this Pimp For Bobinstow, hope he likes it, its the best I can do with this Low Res Image.
I used Lightroom to set the EV on 3 different copies to -2, 0, +2. Then I uploaded to Photomatix Pro and played with the settings, after I was satisfied with a result I made a copy and uploaded both copies to Photoshop. Then I opened a New Layer, filled it with Black and Played with the Fill and Opacity until I was satisfied, Merged the copy and the fill layer, Then I added a Layer Mask to the merged layer and Masked the Car to make it stand out. Added the frame and title. That's it. (like always, there is no secret, all you have to do is play with the settings You can also add a Orton Effect, Dreamy Effect, So many possibilities. I hope you understood if not let me know and I'll try to whip out a tutorial as soon as I can, sometimes I have a hard time explaining. sorry.

I told you not to buy a Citroen.
![]() Nice processing, Sotelo - you've brought out the shadow detail very well. |

Re: Seen Better Days
Top effort
Though I can't decide if it'd look better a bit more desaturated? |
