PuntaColorada Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 There are no rules as to how you apply your post processing to this image; but, please let us know what you have done so we can all learn. If you would like to post a candidate image next week, please ensure it is of sufficiently high resolution for manipulation by the participants (3000px on the long side, 300dpi for example). Most of all, let's have fun while we are learning or demonstrating how we use our post-processing software, imaginations and interpretations. This was one of my childhood toys from the late 1950's. It was made in Japan using the stamped-metal-tab-joints method before plastic was readily available. Back then in the post WWII era, Japan was getting back on its' feet and 'Made in Japan' was an indicator of low cost items. How things have changed. I sold it, and several other toys that I had kept, on eBay before moving to Uruguay; hence, this photo. I did change to a seamless backdrop (the bedsheet draped in a different way) for more photos. 'Royal Mail Canada' changed its' name in the late 1960's to 'Canada Post' and became a crown corporation rather than a department of the government. For those not in the Commonwealth, the ER is Elizabeth Regina (Queen Elizabeth). 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leslie Reid Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 The journey south was arduous, which is why it has so many dents. I wanted to see if I could change the perspective using the Liquify filter in PS. The hard part is getting the lines to stay straight, which I didn’t quite get the hang of. Photoshop—selected the truck (Thank you for that easy-to-deal-with background!)Liquify filterAdjustment layer to increase contrastSuperimposed it on the selected background photoCloned out most parts of the background that were no longer consistent with the mail vanBack in Lightroom, used adjustment brushes to change the lighting on the vanCloned low-opacity grass and sky onto the van to give it some reflections and colors that would connect it to its new settingCloned in low-opacity blur onto the windshield to make it look like the windshield existed.Stood back and looked at the result and was startled to learn that 1950’s Canadian mail vans were equipped with Renault side mirrors 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frankmercer Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Out of this world deliveries. Used CS6 to cut and paste on image I downloaded. Changed color of the van using Hue/Saturation. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
