Bill J Boyd Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 Minor adjust to shadows and highlights in LR. Then used NIK’s HDR Efex Pro 2 filter. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn McCreery Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 The fire truck gets a new paint job by Ken Kesey. Used "select color range" in Photoshop to select red and then the inverse. Copied the selection and pasted it on psychedelic color panel. Then used "magic wand" to select individual panels and added additional colorful patterns. Selected the truck, then selected the inverse, and reduced saturation and vibrance of the background. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikemorrell Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 I had the idea of changing color too but Glen's version just blew me away! This was another idea. Sorry I destroyed your great photo, @PuntaColorada. I've (again) focused on the 'have fun' part of the challenge :). 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaellinder Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 interesting choice, Punta! I decided not to follow the crowd. So, I used Silver Efex to convert the image to b & w. Then, in PSE2020, I used the burning and dodging tools to adjust the tonality, followed by a bit of sharpening. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leslie Reid Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 In Lightroom, I increased the white point, lowered highlights, increased clarity, shadows, vibrance, and texture.In Photoshop, I selected the truck using select subject, which almost worked—lots of clean-up with a brush.I enlarged the canvas, duplicated the truck layer multiple times, then positioned and resized them.For each truck, I did a color range selection for the reds, then added a hue/saturation adjustment layer and tweaked the hue, saturation, and lightness.I couldn’t make a convincing orange, but I found an enthusiastic volunteer as a stand-in.I cloned in the pavement in the foreground (rather messily--I got careless there).I added a background layer from one of my photos of Redwood National Park.I messed around some with the reflections on windows and bumpers to make it slightly less obvious that they’re all the same truck.Back in Lightroom, I tweaked the colors a bit more using adjustment brushes to modify temperature, tint, exposure, and vibrance. I would have had a hard time doing the radical color changes in Lightroom, but I found the fine-tuning a lot easier in Lightroom than in Photoshop. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
