FINAL ENTRY



All my stuff to do my signature and what not is at work, and normally I do all my editing at work, but hey, at least its an entry :). Hate editing on a laptop screen though.​
 
It's several steps, actually. (I use GIMP, might be a bit different than Photoshop)
1.) Saturation down to about 60%
2.) Color balance to about 20% yellow, 5% red
3.) Repeat step one
4.) Curves: Blacks lightened about 5%, whites darkened about 5%
5.) Step two
6.) Step one
7.) Add some noise

And done.

Tried exactly that, and got near black and white! :lol: But thanks anyway.

Edit: Just downloaded GIMP and tried it there, still got the same result. :(

Well, it kinda depends on the picture. If you start with a high saturated pic, more desaturating is needed. Try 85% - 90% instead of 60% saturation if it looks almost black and white.
 
I'm surprised no one has said anything about this pic so far. It's brilliant. I can tell it's London, has that narrow street feel and the car is prominent too.

Perfection.

Wow, compliments don't get much better than that, thanks! 👍
 
Awesome Entries everyone!:drool: Pickin the best pics for the poll wont be easy for mog.:dunce:

I'm a bit glad I wasn't competing this week. I Think I wouldnt have had a chance. But after seeing all those nice pics, I think I need to buy the Swift too and take it on the track soon....:)
 
Apologies for the delay in the top 20, I've been away again this weekend!
