Creative Effects Challenge No. 209 - RAW The Original Mac

I tried to change the cars around to start with but that didn't work out all that well because of the angle of the shot, so changed the colour instead using masks and tints. I still keep falling back to using Xara Designer because I know it so well and can get it to do this kind of thing.

mart44......looking back at your submissions I see you haven't mentioned the program you used to open the RAW image. Did you use PE or another program? Sharing where you began your editing process is the first step in this challenge.

Thanks for the quick reply and the explanation of your creative vision for the image, Mart. Being new to the challenge, I can understand how you missed sharing that first step. You are using a program that appears to be new to many of us so it is interesting to see how you use it.

mart44 , the RAW challenge is the only one that asks you to include how you began processing the RAW file in your initial post. After that members present their creative interpretations as explained in the introductory post to the challenge. For other challenges it is up to you if you want to add how you created your image; or someone may ask you to share. Our forum is called Photoshop Elements & More.  There is no restriction on what you use as long as it doesn’t violate copyright terms.  Some challenges will post directions using PE.  You may want to try some of them as a way of familiarizing yourself with what can be achieved with your version of PE.  Those challenges have helped many of us get more comfortable with PE.

I especially like the change in depth of field and the pink for the thunderbird, Frank.

Very pleasing image, Chris. I like the toning and added grain.
