Recently I took a few pics of some fancy cars borrowed from a local dealership, well it turns out they rather liked the images so they asked for a few poster/adverts, so after a bit of tweeking in Psp here is the before and after.
All comments welcome
The before's

It would be nice to know what you did....just for future refference, when I buy and photograph mine :D . Excellent stuff though, really well done in PS, Although they where good to start with.

Ok, I'll try.
Porsche:
Cloning to tidy up mistakes (lamppost reflections, or Wheel straightening)
Selective colour using layers and eraser
Gradient blue to sky and darken
foreground Grad black & Blur
3 spot lights highlighting car
Contrast fiddle
then added text
The GT is basically the same with more cloning involved especially on the tarmac, and on that I did not add any colour at all

The Porsche now looks even more stunning - excellent job on that one particularly. Well done :clap:
I too would like to know the process you used on them if possible (please:D )

Excellent stuff Kris ... you charging or is it payback for the borrowed pleasure m8 ? ;)
Well done any rate ... classy stuff you've churned out there ! :clap:
Very professional looking and a definate improvement over the vanilla versions.
I seem to remember having something like that on my wall when I was about 11!
Hope you got some publicity at least for them.

Very professional looking - have a very moody atmosphere with the vignetting effect and the so subtle desaturation of the background that I hardly noticed it.
Well done - Im sure their very satisfied with the results aswell:thumb:

Excellent m8, they look stunning :cool:
The porkka is the winner there, i think it's because the crest on the wheels is upright now :laugh1:
I hope you've done the image with your name and company on :)
stunning Kris, really very impressed with those, i hope your pal is walletoutheresawedge pleased!
Did you think of putting text in the blank space on the reg plate?

I'm sooo glad you noticed that, lol
I am thinking of either putting Porsche on the plate, or maybe giving it a Manx feel and going for black plates, not sure yet, I'll have a fettle and come back to you.
Cheers

The upright crest makes the difference, i've seen marketing people order that tyres are refitted with the brand uppermost when the centre cap is upright.
Advertising isn't free ;)
Re the plate, see if you can clone it out completely, such a shame for a nasty piece of perspex to spoil thousands of £ worth of R+D

IT would be nice, bit too much editing for me, removing the plate totally.
Just messing about

I have to say you started off with some great pics and your ps work has made them even better. the only thing extra I may have done is to clone the road behind the ford so you couldn't see where they've resurfaced.

Cheers guys, little bit of news....
Glenn Coopers liked it so much, they've commisioned me to do a calender with loads of cars, Enzo, aston's, lambo's, and a bently for 2007!!!!
The road I used to take these was a private one, so before taking any shots I popped into the owners (a publishing company) and asked if they mind, when I took the proofs into the dealers I went back and showed them what I'd done, they too, want to make a calender, a mixed one with TT bikes and these cars!
Result!
excellent Kris, very impressive work has paid off for you!
