photoshop tutorial

Ever wondered how to make your car look better than what the screen shot gives you? Well, you can do this to increase its quiality.

Look a the first supra. no modification, except for the name.

Heres a way to improve its quality.

1- Copy that layer you want to improve
2- On the new layer, add the Filter>Noise>Median effect, and place it on 5
3- Change the new layers mode from normal, to overlay, or if you want a briget version, pick soft light
4- "optional" go to layers, and flatten image

Notice how the second one looks better in quality. you can do this to any image really to make it looks better than the original. hope this helped.

flipsider, the second picture is the original picture, and out of the three it looks best.... The other two (first and last) look very dark, and imo worse than the middle.

So what did you do exactly and to what picture! I mean the original one is better. Or is the first one is how you get it from the game (than you got problems!)...

can you sort of explain to which pics you refer in your 'tutorial' (when you attach them, they don't nececarily come up in the order you wanted...

Yeah, that confused me ... I like the original better (same reasons as UrQuattro) ...

Everyone has his/her own tastes, though ... What is beautiful to one person may not necessarily be beautiful to the next ...
