P.S - These are also rejects to the SimV worckshop thingy sorry forgot the name.

Interesting edits there.

Thanx Mitch THis is what i mean by mucking around with effects all i did was take a random shot and throw stuff at it   8-)

Well...Layne, you seem to be dissatisfied with some of your edits. I have a few tips, from a veteran, me.

1. Practice, practice, practice.

2. Practice, practice, practice, practice.

3. Did I mention practice? You can't expect to learn PS in a night or two. It takes a LONG time.

4. You can't expect to create a masterpiece just by slapping on some filters. "Oh Marge, just slap some bumper stickers on it" - Homer Simspon. It may work while trying to restitch a Chanel dress, but it won't work on PS. Putting filters on in general, is still not a good idea. You have to work at it. Slowly. Adjust the colour and contrast every now and then. Try sharpening it a bit. Rework the lighting using doge/burn. Add weathering with a brownish brush on low opacity.

And the last tip, this is the most important one; now don't take this the wrong way, but sometimes...no matter HOW hard you try...editing may just not be your thing. Its like learning how to ride a horse or fly a plane. Sometimes, you are simply destined to be good at something. Other times, you just...aren't. Kinda like me and Gmax.

Yeah i was just experimenting How do you "Weather" The plane to make it look older  :-?

first of you need to learn how to edit properly, and not just slap filters on
