Here's what I do when it comes to photo-editing a vehicle.
CS2
-Auto Level (shift+ctrl+L)
-Auto Contrast (alt+shift+ctrl+L)
-Auto Color (shift+ctrl+B)
-Level (ctrl+L): Drag the middle slider slightly to the right, and adjust the left and right slider until you think it makes the image pop out enough. Don't overdo it.
-Hue/Saturation (ctrl+U): I just decrease the saturation slightly. It's not necessary, but I do it on some pics.
-Filter>Sharpen>Unsharp Mask: This is hard for me to explain how to use, but it helps the image pop out more.
-Filter>Noise>Reduce Noise: This is a MUST HAVE tool when it comes to crappy images. When you have a picture with lots of noise, try using this. The pic you posted could go without this tool.
-Gradient tool (G): Set to radial mode. Use a gradient that goes from white to black. Set the mode to multiply. It provides the darkened borders.

Unfortunately, you can't do this using photoshop. Well, you can, but you need to take multiple shots with a DSLR set at different exposure levels. It's an HDR image. Photoshop isn't designed for it, but you can still make a crude attempt.

Search HDR on google.

Razzy · 12-09-2008, 06:54 PM

TRIPPYY!!

IrateSpeed6 · 12-09-2008, 07:18 PM

This is just a quick rendering, but your car has MAD potential!!

got_psi · 12-09-2008, 07:51 PM

you can take multiple shots using a tripod and then create a single HDR image OR..

You can make a pseudo HDR image. Take an image, make 2 over exposed copies of it and two under exposed copies of it. You can then use the merge to HDR command in photoshop and create something similar to a real HDR shot. Im not sure if you can tone map a pseudo HDR image to make it look like the pictures posted above. Maybe someone more knowledgeable can chime in here. I can show u an example....

HDR is done,by combining a number of shots of the same object under different exposures. So you would take lets say 5 shots of you car, under different exposures.

Open Photoshop depending what you use, go under File --> Automate--> Merge to HDR and follow instructions. Hope that helps.

MrTerryliu · 12-09-2008, 09:18 PM
