Post edited photos here

Either photos you have edited or ones you would like to be edited.

Photoshop is a powerful tool.


Hope D-Rock doesn't mind but as I was browsing the Photo thread I liked this photo he posted and decided to do some editing to it. Mainly I used Shadow/Highlight, Exposure, Brightness/Contrast, Hue/Saturation, and the Burn tool.

thanks, the burn tool darkens, dodge is the opposite, it lightens. when you use shadow/highlight you usually need to burn some of the darker arears afterwards

Can anyone recommend a decent place to learn to use photoshop? I have been wanting to get into adjusting some photos but unfortunately I don't have a ton of time to sit down and play. A website that would teach me the basics and I could refer back to later would be super helpful.

What process do you guys do exactly in order to make things so clean? I've always wondered about this thing...

Levels, Selective Color, Color Balance, Brightness/Contrast, Clone tool if any spots (i.e. dirt on a car) need removing. Those are the main ones I use.

What about the wheels?

Here's a simple crop and DxO I did after a recent photo shoot.
