Default products of my insomnia(pic heavy)

so yet again i couldn't sleep tonight, which happens about every 2-3 days. so i rifled through all my pics and started playing with them. started as just something to kill my boredom, then by the time the sun came up i had created like 20+ images all which look about 10 x's better than the original picture.(all i really did was mess with the contrast, brightness, tint, color, and saturation)



































sooo anyways. no idea what i'm gonna do for the rest of the morning, but if you got any raw pics you want doctored a little send 'em my way.

(and yes the last 2 are old pics of my mustang)

head hunter, here is what i could do. it was actually harder than i thought with your rims being black, the contrast wanted to swollow them. in some of the pictures i ran with it and in other i tried to make the detail pop little. let me know what you think.













berfore:













the differences are subtle in some of them but i like them over all.

it's a function in the vista picture gallery. it lets you toggle all that junk, much less sophisticated than photo shop.

Nice cars, but lower those first two! I couldn't believe how much better my car looked once I lowered it.

ok so i really couldn't do much with these, if they were bigger and better resolution i could have done something cooler.













so basically all i did was make small adjustments to the color and saturation. anything more than that and they got pixelated.

Work out at the gym before going to bed; cures insomnia.

messed around with art's new camera(blade macias on here) and tried to get it dialed in for night shots. they came out alright, nothing spectacular but i like 'em. if i had a tri-pod it would have really made a difference.



same shot high saturation.








here's a couple pics i took the other day, messing around with the tri-pod. you can tell the difference in detail.

just down loaded some free chopping software. tryed it out a little on your car arthur. still trying to figure out how to use everything on it, but i can deffinitely chop up some bad *** pictures so if anybody wants a custom sig pm me your pics and any ideas and i'll do it for ya. or even if you want some work done for an album etc etc. but remember the higher resolution the picture the better.
