very simple technique found in most photo editing packages. Begins with V, but the name escapes me..... Ah remembered, it's vignetting!!! Simple effect, used effectively!!!!

The background in pic 2 is blown out. Sometimes this is deliberate, I'm not convinced it is here. Reducing depth of field would have been more effective me thinks, but photography is subjective!!!! The lights in pic 1 are also blown out. The other cars in the second picture ruin the blowing out as an effect.

The saturation really makes the blue stand out. The yellow warning chevrons also stand out for this reason.

I'd be wary of buying a car where the photos are edited....

If he can do that, whats to say he hasnt edited out the key scratch down the side that says 'stop f**king my wife' or something...

And if he's done that to the photo, which obviously shows a desire to hide the truth bend the rules and break laws, how do you know he hasnt used that sizeable boot to transport cocaine, or dead bodies... one small 'lie' reveals the kind of personality that may have commited serious crimes, could even be a serial killer.

You never know, trust no-one... especially lizards.

Including your advice? ;)

[munky30]

My advice is always sound, based on actual facts and events. (these events may have happened while I was asleep, but they're real to me)

Thankyou for this useful info Mr Icke. Now where can I get a fetching mauve shellsuit like yours?

Did you see that documentary about him a while back?

He speaks a lot of sense, mostly common sense, but then at the end of his lecture he starts babbling on about how the lizards are ruling the earth....

He kind of lost my interest at that point.

must admit pics look nice but yea id be wary of buying as the pics have been edited

Who actually buys a car without looking at it??

You could argue that if the seller spends that much time and effort presenting his car for sale, will he show the same level of detai in mantaining his car??

[munky30]

time and effort?

5 minutes in photoshop isnt exactly a lot of time and effort.

Obviously anyone who buys it will go and see it, but say it was a long way away, I for one wouldnt travel to see it on the basis of some edited pics so he is limiting his market.

exactly, if he had done sime more subtle enhancements to make it look nicer then hardly anyone would have noticed, yet may be jsut as surprised when they view it and find it as a complete dog
