If anyone can just help me lighten it up a bit that would be awesome!
TIA
Nick

 

Here it is a little lighter...

 

Thanks!


But can anyone keep the quality of it?

 

Whoever it is would have to lasso the side of the two cars and brighten that up, but the sky is so overexposed that if you brighten the picture to the point where you can read the Mazda emblem on the side of the car, you wash out the A-pillar and right side of the windshield.

Personally, the only way I could see to make it look decent is to toss the color information, and play with it in a B/W setting.

The result:



Gives some definition to the trees in addition to keeping your windshield and side vent window in the picture without washing them out.

 

Perrin's clean-up is the same size as your original if you click on the thumbnail....

 

about as good as you can get with that blown out sky:

 

Here is as good as I can get it, the source is the major handicap!


old:

 

dood...just redraw it...you're good!

 

haa, thanks bro, I start charging for that stuff!

 

Huh? Source is the major handicap?

Hatein' on the miata?

 

the problem is that photoshop cannot create something that wasn't there in the original photo....detail (the sky is extremely blown out and therefore lacks detail and the shadows are under exposed and therefore also lacking detail) next time to a spot metering off the the car close up and keep that metering setting (look in the camera instructions on how to do this), the sky will still be blown out but the cars will look better and its easier to draw in sky on photoshop than it is to draw in car details

 

pretty much what VRT MBasile said. Not hate'n the miata, the image/picture is difficult to make look clean without hours of clean-up and painting over the orig. image.

 

Ahh i c, well thanks for the info next time ill try and take a shot away from the sun

Thanks everyone who tried makin it look better!
