Just being bored with an old Photo from a few months back. Nothing exciting really, or great for that matter. Most of the time, all you see is the edited photos, so here is the original RAW image for reference.

What is the difference in the photos? Looks to me like the shaddow is a little darker and the highlights are brighter?

The car looks very cool - but looks like the sunroof is open!! - unless its American and that is a glass roof??

They look the same to me fella maybe a close up would be better!

The sunroof is just not closed all the way. I've got issues with the crank, and it just sinks in like that sometimes. I'll get it fixed one of these days. Oh and the car is American, but no glass roof.

As far as the photos go, subtlety is key for me. Some of the things that have been altered are: Black and white levels, Sharpness, Hue/saturation, and a few adjustment layers have been added. I just dont like to edit everything to the extreme ya know.

Your car looks the business!

Just some basic level tweaking
Nice looking car though

looks like you adjusted the contrast, car looks cool though

Yup, just some basic stuff. Believe it or not, the contrast hasn't been altered at all. What you are seeing is the sharpening from the unsharp mask filter.

Lovelly looking car. I was hoping you were going to offer a prize for spotting the differences...

sweet ride dude
