andymc1973 199 Posted December 4, 2016 Does anyone run their pictures through any photo shop style software or just take the picture and upload? I'm not suggesting taking the pi$$ with massive editing and hiding stuff,I was just curious if anyone of you had any suggestions? Andy 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
metcars 397 Posted December 4, 2016 Yes, photoshop, but photography is a hobby of mine so a little 'enhancing' is just fun. You'd be surprised at just how playing with contrast/brightness can improve a photo massively. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What I don't want is it to look like a magazine feature http:// thats one i have been playing out, its just ran through adobe on the iphone No offence, just an observation. The problem is that the picture is 'over exposed' and the contrast is iffy; and a little out of focus. This is down to your camera. The bright sky against the black car is too much for your camera to process. Your roof, screen and bonnet have "blown out". Just a small observation. Don't use a cluttered background, all those houses in the distance, keep it simple. I often use my local country park. Watch reflections, it looks bad if you cast a shadow on a photo or you can see the reflection of a bus stop!. Also, watch the road surface, it sounds a small thing but that patchy tarmac doesn't look nice. Nice car by the way, those three door Astra's are smoking hot at the moment. They seem to be appealing to a certain group of young guys. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can't believe anyone would spend £3.5M on that thing? But ...? Although it will probably be bought a 'youtuber', and then we'll have to endure endless boring videos of these 'trust fund kids' "downshifting" and gurning while driving through tunnels Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At first I thought that editing pics is something girls are crazy about (selfies you know ) but once I tried too and it appeared to be an interesting hobby. Sounds like a confession))) Typically I use Luminar https://macphun.com/luminar . However, there are cheaper options like Paint, it depends what result you expect from your photo editor.
