    Touched up an old photo

    Hope Ryan Stewart doesn't mind. I had this photo in my screensave and thought it was a great pic but needed some work. The lighting made everything in the foreground really yellow. I think I got it closer to true color.

    Really good Pshop work, but I prefer the lighting in the 1st pic.

      But...it all yellow. This is why professionals use filters when shooting in artificial lighting, you don't want it all yellow. It's urine vision!

        I prefer the first as well. It is artistic! I don't think it was really ment to be realistic.

          I agree with Derek and Kristin. The touched up one looks nice, but it looks just that, touched up. Good work though! :up:

              I think I need to darken the car a little bit, it looks like it's glowing now. That might help it not look touched up. Another problem is that it loses image quality when I save it as a jpeg.

                  That doesn't look realistic at all, you need to mess around with colour correction more.

                            2nd pic looks way better, first doesn't look artistic it just looks like it was taken under low pressure sodium lights--yellow
