Un-real Look

[hershy314]

Went to a car show today and snapped a few photos. My camera isn't anything special, just a Kodak 9 mp point and shoot camera that I've had for years. Hell I've taken this thing apart on more than one occasion, it's been hit, tossed, slammed and it still works just like the day I got it. Anyways I was fooling around with Camera Raw 7 and HDR Toning in PS and came up with this weird looking effect. I think it looks kinda cool.

Looks a lot like a result topaz presets have. I think in Detail or Adjust. Very cool processing.

Haven't used that preset before. To me this almost looks like a painting of some sort, ya know.

Well nice work is what it boils down to

[hoops]

Very cool. Reminds me of a book i had when i was a kid. Was all of cars and the art style, technique or whatever was very similar. Bit of a blast from the past lol.

Must try this out. So much to try so little time.

Thanks for the tut.
