radial blur for your car to look like it's moving

though its probably best to have someone sitting in it if you want to achieve it.

Apart from number 6 which looks quite good, all the sjops look worse than the original. Dark and grainy in most cases,

Not sure what you were trying to achieve with the photoshops, and I'm no expert, but the car looks good

I thought this thread was a piss take half way through looking at the pics, only because the photoshops are worse than the original pics lol :/

Sorry mate but i think its back to the drawing board, what type of effect/style were you aiming towards? Might be able to help or point towards a good tutorial site etc

Try subtly adjusting the levels, contrast and exposure of the origionals to give them more debth and sort out any over exposed areas from the camera.
Its much easier to use higher resolution pictures too.

Usually you won't want to be too harsh with the adjustments, with maybe an increase of 5 for the contrast and subtle adjustment of the levels.

Do a google search for 'how to make a picture look more professional'

grainy = 3.2 Nokia phone camera

dark = was trying to achieve a better representation of the "vivid" blue colour of the car, adjusting the contrast both ways i felt the darker options offered more. i like them even if they are not welcomed, feel free to show me how its supposed to be done!
(nb - my "photoshop" is a much more basic attempt at photo edditing and not photoshop as Adobe know it

Use hi-res pics to PS, anythin else doesnt come out right usually.

Very very very quick and basic PS, i'm not any good at photoshop, basic levels and saturation to make the colour pop a bit.



As Danny says, low res pics aren't very good for it.

You can also try enhancing one colour, or bringing out detail lost from exposure (using shadow/highlight)

Not saying this is how they should look, just ideas
