Well heres my first post. I feal i coulda done better if i knew how to get a good "old look" to the photo. Took forever to outline the bloody thing and i counda done that better  but it still looks good for an hours work.



the background is nice, i think,  little glare on the 52 and there was part of an engine in the botton right corner i got rid of, can till kinda see it if you look  ;)

sorry about the incorrect linking

Hey AMA071, welcome to simviation!
Nice edit, but there's room for some improvement:

- Take a better shot to start with. This plane is a bit pixellated. You should try turning anti aliassing on on your videocard then you can nice crisp shots.

I don't know what program you're using, but if you're using one of the better programs (paintshop pro, photoshop, ...) here are some other tips:

- Adjust the levels (ctrl + L) or use autolevelling (ctrl + shift + L) to get a better colour balance.

- Use filters to add "old-effects" like adding grain.

I don't know what you mean by outlining, but if it means cutting out the plane then maybe I could give you some tips to do it faster. I need to know what program you're using for that.

I think you did a pretty good job, concidering your shot wasn't the greatest to start with. Theres not much more you can do.

Happy editting!

can u upload it to simvi? I wana see the B-52.

sorry  i'll upload to simv.  I am useing Photoshop CS2  I know how to use the program, what i dont know is how to adjust the colors to the correct look. i am useing a laptop and anti-ailiasing wont work for some reason right now. The cut out i know coulda been better but again  the pixilisation on my comp.  I adjusted the levels and contrast i just couldent find how to mix it all.  and if you look carefuly there IS grainyness in he shot

Well... do you mean the plane is to dark / the background is too light?
You could use a bit of light grey colour dodge on the palne and a bit of light grey colour burn on the background. Experiment around with different fill types and colours.

Like the edit, though you're gonna have to resized it to 100kb>. Otherwise it's gonna get removed again!

man i really hate those simple problems   sorry again.

oh nice pic

Nice edit! A bit too much contrast maybe, but very good none the less...  :)
