While I am testing out the Adobe Lightroom 2 Trial version (full version sells for around $299.00) I am trying it on several differing images.
This image was first of all painted in the Free ArtRage with oil brushes. I added back in just enough detail using PhotoPaint to overlay the original photograph with transparency. I added the frame using Filter Forges' Freepack Frames. Then I saved the image.
I opened the piece in Adobe's Lightroom 2 Trial version and adjusted the Tone Curve, Saturation, and gave it some depth increasing the Shadows a bit.
I really like this program and would like to own it, but it doesn't fit the budget for now, maybe somewhat later. I love the way it brings out details and deepens the coloring and effects the lighting. Makes the image really POP!
I don't have the credits for the original photographer, so if you recognize it let me know so I can give full credit to them.

Hi Kirk,
ReplyDeleteReally like this painting! Hope you don't mind that I suggest removing the the suv in the back so it's less distracting on your gorgeous blue hot rod!

Hmm, maybe some cloning out is in order, eh? I don't mind the suggestion at all, thank you!
ReplyDeleteGlad you took a look and posted a comment!
