Could this go thru for a photo 50x70 cm ??

[Dandy-Warhol]

Just been fooling around with Photoshop a little cuz I need to deliver 2 photos size 50x70.

Does this look ok?

The copyright thingy at the right bottom will be removed though and the photo will get a hand signing.

Tell me your thoughts

I don't mind if you don't like it as long as you give me tips and tricks to make it better.



*final note = this is my personal scan, the original film will be scanned at a higher resolution. This is just a test photo.

I like the photo but the contrast is way too low. Perhaps you are editing this on a computer with a dark monitor. I would increase the contrast using a simple S curve in photoshop.

 

[Dandy-Warhol]

hey voodoo mate!

how's things? it's me! BMW-M6

how can i adjust the S-curve in photoshop?

I don't know Photoshop by heart yet

thanks

 

[voodoocat]

What I do is create an adjustment layer.

choose curves

this is where you will make an s shape to bring up the contrast. The diagnal line is what you will be adjusting. I wish I had a screenshot, but if you play around with that curve you can see exactly the effect it has.

thanks mate

gonna fuzz around a bit with it

Learning every day

That's 100 times better.

 

[Dandy-Warhol]

That's 100 times better.

Cheers mate!

Like I said I don't know Photoshop by heart yet but thanks to you guys I'm learning more and more everyday

:thumbsup: Much much much better!

Oh yeah; much better! Nice correction.
The mix of direct sun and shade doesn't usually work well with subjects. That and the background is a bit distracting for me. Having the trees reflected in the side of the car is a cool way to show it's form. I like that. The top half of the car is rather dark because of the canopy, though.

Unfortunately I couldn't finish this shoot cuz of bad weather that moved in, otherwise I would've had more photos to choose from.

The BMW dealer gave me this car for 3 hours, it started to rain after an hour and a half :roll:

Cuz of that I ended up with only 10 photos that I was happy about.

 

[markc]

Oh yeah, that's tough. Kind of hard to fit one of them into a studio, isn't it.

 

[Dandy-Warhol]

Especially when you don't have a studio

Nah, I rather take pics outside.

I had a few locations picked out for the shoot, but ended up shooting at 1 and a half

Working on a portfolio at the moment so I can try get a car for longer than 3 hours
