[UneekVisions]

Hello everybody...Newb here from Westchester County, NY...I shoot with a Nikon D70 and love playing around with my photos in photoshop...Figured id start it off here with a before and after thread...

This is a picture of my custom 1956 Ford F-100 which was taken out behind an old Grand Union Warehouse that has now been turned into a indoor go-kart track (cant complain about that)...

Hi, Uneek. Welcome here to DPS.
I'm just wondering what you did in PS besides the up in brightness.
Also, I think that the F-100 should maybe go on the left side of the frame or possibly just rotate the car so it has room to 'see' into the frame.
Overall, great picture. Thanks for sharing.

Sorry about that, i should of taken some more time to read the stickies...I have a habit of posting right away...

Anyway, i just did your usual touch ups...Or atleast what i consider "usual"...

-First i started out by adjusting the "Levels" to my liking
-Then i just did "Auto Color"
-From there i went into the "shadows/highlights" and adjusted those just a tad bit
-Then i went into "Selective Color" and adjusted some of the colors to make them pop or to dull them out a bit
-After that i went into "Hue/Saturation" and messed around with each color separately to either make some color look more vibrant or to tone some colors down
-Lastly i adjusted the brightness and contrast to my liking

What I like is the lines in the buidling lead you to the truck and then they change AT the truck. As if to say "stop right here and look at me"/ Love the textures and colors as well
