Photoshop does wonders to photography. (Before and After Photo)

radiantm3 · 01-02-2010, 05:54 PM

Not a new photo, but I wanted to see how much I could clean up one of the photos of my 1er.

Here's the original image from the camera:

And here's the final result:

If you want the final image in large size you can get it here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/radiant...64198/sizes/o/

If you look closely you'll notice I removed a bunch of unnecessary crap from the original image. It really makes a big difference in the end. Anyways, just thought I'd share.

I have WeissLicht's now, but I had EFX in those photos...which burned out in 6 months.

Not yet. The WeissLicht's are much better designed and have yet to throw any codes, but I think my EFX had brighter and more even lighting in the rings. I spent an hour adjusting the WeissLicht's to be more even, but it didn't seem to work at any angle. They still look pretty good though.

yeah they looked pretty evenly lit that's why i asked, i didn't adjust my WL's because from the instructions on bimmian's website they already came adjusted for the 1 series and from what you said it looks like that's the best it's going to look. i'd love to see them in your awesome photography soon though

Damn Mark, looks really good. Glad you like the WL, I am rocking them on my 1er now too.

Mindgame · 01-02-2010, 11:33 PM

Look the same to me

oneintheory · 01-03-2010, 12:17 AM

second one is obviously better. saturation and clarity are spot on. the shading of the front bumper bothers me though....

escobar929 · 01-04-2010, 11:36 AM

very nice, so much more clear than the first one

desmat · 01-04-2010, 11:49 AM

Even dirt from tires is removed

BerkTechnology · 01-04-2010, 11:50 AM

Photoshop master!! What a huge difference!

BrokenVert · 01-04-2010, 12:06 PM

I like how you removed some the reflected signs in the windsheild and on the hood.

Very very nice.

anthony @ eas · 01-04-2010, 02:49 PM

Nice job on the post. I love PS.

Sidh135i · 01-05-2010, 08:26 AM

Hey bro, you have any more pics of your rider..? I see nothing new in your "Garage". Thnx!

mthr333 · 01-10-2010, 08:26 AM

Very nice pic and great editing work. I could be wrong but it looks like you adjusted the colour curve/ shadows & highlights to perfection. Definitely great job on the windscreen with the removal of the reflection. Mind if i ask - how long did it take to edit?
