[quote="JamieM"]I think a certain level of editing would be fun. I don't mean adding parts to your car/ lowering ect just light edits to compensate for s**t cameras or enhancements.

If I had my SLR here I could make an image look 10x better than just re-size and upload but keep it looking realistic.

For example;

[img]http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8091/8386719691_7242366e71_o.jpg[/img]

The original image was shot in a rush and looked washed out. The paint in real life was as red and vibrant as what you see there, however due to lighting and my lazyness I had to slightly enhance the photo to give a true illustration of what you get when looking through your eyes and not a lens.

Same with this picture;

[img]http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8251/8484205306_e8f92ccf2e_o.jpg[/img]

That is exactly how they look/looked in person.

The key is to know when to stop enhancing. Obviously you'll get people who will use HDR converters and over sharpen pictures which then makes things look unrealistic and s**t. I often sit on DW and the amount of people that HDR a picture to bring certain details out to a ridiculous level irritates me.

A light enhancement to a picture isn't cheating if it is true. The only reason you cannot see stone chips is because of lighting and reflections. Also a miss conception is people think you edit the picture to make a car shinnier. It's not making it any more shiny than real life, sharpening as long as not too much gives a better perspective.

My car in real life is as shinny as my pictures when it's clean (which is 90 % of the time).

Borders imo look s**t, but multi pics together look good.[/quote]
