Fantastic capture and excellent colors and clarity!! #5229182Deb Koskovich December 19, 2007
Thanks to all for such great comments! Ellen, I used Nik Color Efex Pro 3, mostly the Tonal Conrast and the bi-color filters (the latter was used on the sky, which was initially a plain blue sky.) Also used Dfine 2.0 noise reducer. Didn't have to do much to the truck itself -- it really does look like that! #5229729Donna La Mattino Pagakis December 19, 2007
Very cool, great old time feel! #5230402Eugenio Diaz December 19, 2007
