chris260 Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 Personal opinion is that there's a little too much contrast. Paint is blown out and all the detail has been lost in the grills.Reflex silver can be a difficult one but if you use the wrong exposure you can fix it with layers and layer masks in photoshop. Shadow/highlight on the paintwork can help stop it looking overexposed but don't overdo it. If you have in your head how you want the photo to look then you can make it work in photoshop.

Tigz™ Posted March 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 It looks perfect on my Mac, on my PC at work I can't see any detail! I may print one, see how it looks really lolIs it just too much contrast with the car, or with the background as well Chris? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris260 Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 Too much contrast with the car on my screen, the background looks ok though. I thought i'd set mine up properly before but after getting some prints done last year i had to tweak it a little so should be about right now. What have you adjusted on photoshop?

Tigz™ Posted March 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 Contrast, satuation (with trees, with green red and brown. - With building red, yellow green) and a touch of vibrance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grapo Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 The first and last shot I would have more sky than foreground. Looks a bit strange the way you have got it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadmetal Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 Try just playing with the background and not the car, will keep the details on the car.Also, try adding a slight hue to pics, and increase in some areas like wheels, large reflections etc, should look pretty cool.
