Playing around with Photoshop

[Yelcamino]

Here's my attempt at being creative with Photoshop. What do you think?

Here's my first try with the Chevelle:

This is my wife driving the El Camino on the autox at RTTH last September:

Then I gave my Corvette the greyscale background treatment too (notice the butterfly that happened to fly over the fender when I took the pic):

Finally, I added some action to the Chevelle pic:

Maybe keep the cones orange in the Camino shot...

I didn't think of that, good idea!

Geez I love that Chevelle!

Now try messing with the color balance and saturation on the cars... you can get some really serious punch that way. Something like so:

They look great Herb, practicing for retirement? Or just screwing the pooch at work. LOL

Neither, just playing around. I am starting to get prepared for retirement though. :bananna2:

Thanks! There's a little race car shop not far from me called Piper Motorsports that made it using my drawings.

the first grayscale with the Chevelle is perfect IMO

That looks pretty cool. It's almost like the background isn't from the same picture.

It's always good to have a plan and we may need a place to live for a while! :)

[Yelcamino]

Cool pics guys! I have a bunch more of forum members' cars that I plan to "fix up" and post; I just haven't found the time to do it!

I'm really digging Jim's Nova. Any more pics of that or his '70 ElCamino?

Hey Chris! I don't think I have any action shots of Jim's Elky, but I'll look through my files. Email me a hi-res shot of your car and I'll give it the "treatment" if you want.
