Haha! Spanner in the worx time matey...I was thinking about leaving the background as is, the sepia, and only coloring the car and humans?

I think you need to see more details in the jackets.

Bc of that bright background maybe darken it a little


There is no details to be enhanced. They just wear all black - but I did play around with the contrast some...

So - is this better?

Prefer the colored version, but agree with wes. The black isn't black enough, and on the car you should darken the tires, shadows etc.

The door looks a bit odd, maybe use a different tone on it?

Edit: Didn't see the update... Looks way better! The door is still odd looking though.

Ok sorry bud, was thinking if you have the car and men colored, as you have, how would look if you left the background of trees and road in the sepia tone, or would that look a bit silly?

I think it looks better in full colour :) But this was the quote I was unsure of:

Anyway, colored the tires, headlights, mirrors and so on. Also played with a curve on the door. Better now?

Cool, no worries, I understand now, yeah just means someone is going to do something to um, well, ruin your good day basically :)

I agree it does look great in the color, and you've done a top job on it, I must try that one day myself !

Much better! Now you can see the outline of the door. Maybe you should change the color on the inside of the car, or just brighten it up a bit? The parts you see through the windows I mean.

I think you should stick with the colour, but make it all a little more washed out. Maybe finish up your various layers, then save the image as a jpeg (without the TT etc. on it) and play with it some more to get the right balance. As it is the colors look a little too full on, but i think it'll work if you just desaturate the whole thing a bit.

Thx guys :cheers:

@Z - I'll give the inside a color job too :) Should I place some pink fluffy dice in the front window too while I'm at it? :chin:

*Edit* Didn't see your post before JW - I'll tinker some more, but I'm not really a fan of the color of your car ;)

Here's the original picture before I began messing with it
