Re: Which picture should I have posterized?

I just photochopped that sign in there...it had some really dumb advertisement on it. I could make it say anything.

Re: Which picture should I have posterized?

I like #1 better than #2 because #2 has too many distractions taking away from the car. If you can airbrush out the people, I'd go with #3.

#3 if you can get rid of the people, if not, #1 without the photoshopped message.

#3 has the best lighting/composition IMO.

Re: Which picture should I have posterized?

#3, and just notch up contrast a little.

In postersized, so anything 20x30 or larger, a lack of contrast will not work out well IMO, so if it looks slightly overdone in a small image it will work better on the poster

Re: Which picture should I have posterized?

#3 has a lot of color to it, definitely would stand out on the wall.

I'm liking #3. And I agree with solitaire on the contrast.

When were you in FL?

Re: Which picture should I have posterized?

3. Chopped picture in #1 doesn't help it. 3 has the best variety in hue and light depth. Came out really clear.

Re: Which picture should I have posterized?

#1, but the photoshopped message is crooked. slightly. putting text like that on there is an art. you might be better off leaving it alone



all are nice!

Re: Which picture should I have posterized?

I haven't done it yet. I do like the 3rd one, but I also want one of my car at the Daytona 500 track. Decisions, decisions...

Re: Which picture should I have posterized?

If you could send me the original for that first picture, I could have a go at it.

Not so sure about the message. I'd personally stick with the original panel, whatever's on it, but I could crop it to a 2:3 image, interpolate some additional pictures for your preferred size, bump contrast and clean up that building on the left hand side.

I think stretching that shot from 3:4 to 2:3 would improve the shot some

Re: Which picture should I have posterized?

If you use number one, send me the original picture so i can put the sign in there better for you and make it look nice.

Re: Which picture should I have posterized?

1 or 3. I kind of like how you photoshopped your name in #1. I like the way the lighting is in #3, but I like the stance of the car and the angle of the picture in #1
