What Would You Do (#14)

[xxpinballxx]

Well I missed last weeks due to lack of motivation. This week wasn't much better but I got something, well lets say different?
I took the sky and the foreground and used a cutout artistic filter.
Then I selected certain parts to highlight. I felt the signs were the focus for me.
Then I upped the contrast on them and took the contrast and sat down on the cutout filtered parts.
Finally i gave it a radial blur on zoom set to a value of 45 at best.

hpebley3,

Thanks. I'm practicing tonight to see if I can apply your steps to my program. That's a good look.

Used Quick mask to place the 2 vehicles on seperate layers then added a colour overlayer to the background copy using the colour burn mode

I'll just post the link to the tutorial that I used because I didn't make many changes to the steps that they show there. The only things I changed were that I added less noise, and I did a little bit of work in the sky because it looked very strange after one of the steps. I just liked how doing this put the focus more on a single point.

Fabulous and thank you for the link.

Going off of Nicole's vibe, I came up with the following:

Let me just start by saying....WOW! The edits in this week's WWYD are super cool! I can't even come close to creating one as worthy as these, but I wanted to at least join in the fun. So here's my 2-minute version:

GOAL:
-Make it look gritty and raw

What I did (in Paint Shop Pro 8):
-Desaturated and colorized mild sepia
-Adjusted histogram midtones (-20)
-Added noise
-Slight crop off the left to remove some really black distracting objects
