Racer Alteration

Not sure if this type work is accepted here, so if not, please delete or notify me. This open wheeler was shot at the New Jersey Motorsports Park during the vintage racing weekend. I used post processing techniques to alter the image for a new look. Comments are much appreciated.

Heck yeah this kind of work is accepted here

Can't remember the program name that gives that effect, but I like it!

Foques

what was the post processing?!

I like this pic a lot!!

teach me! please?

Sorry, I should have given more detail in the first post. The file was originaqlly processed in Lightroom and exported to photoshop for alteration using a plugin called Fractalious, from Redfield Plugins. I used several layers and masked some of the areas (Team Name and numbers) to reduce or remove the filter affect and bring back some of the original detail. It's an inexpensive plugin with huge potential once you learn your way around it. Thanks for looking and commenting.

I like it........ azzaro

Silverado

That's pretty cool
Need to do some homework on that plug in. I love it.

Thanks DaddyO, Azzaro, and Silverado. It really is a fun plugin to work with. I have mostly used it on birds, wildlife, and scenics, but wanted to try something different. The effects you can get seem limitless and there are quite a few presets that you can start with. Gosh ! I sound like a commercial. I'll post some others soon. Thanks again for the encouragement.

i got the plugin last night.. for some reason, it is taking forever to process my images..

I wonder if something's wrong with my pc..:\

woellerd

Nothing wrong with your pc. The plugin does take a long time to do the processing and the total time will probably depend on your proessor. My images take about 3-4 minutes to process. Hope that relieves some concern.

Foques

phew!
Yes, yes it does!! thank you!

Windows-only Photoshop plug-in?

I hadn't realized that before. What a bummer.

Thanks!!! W. W. Webster. By the way, how does it feel having the whole internet based around your initials?

I must confess that the relationship is actually round the other way!
