Hate to be an ass - but I call a photoshop job on GT5photographer's MP412C...
Looks a lot like the ones he has shown where he claimed to have edited them, and that slight washed out look is one I'm yet to achieve through normal GT5 photomode.

Nice shot nonetheless...

Yep, in his gallery he says:

It's probably my editing style. The photos are so good quality alone I decided to try my standard editing style for my photography and it really kicks the photos into a higher gear of realism.

Not trying to be an ass either.

There are some great shots in that poll, good luck to everyone! 👍

How the hell did the amg get that background I tried to recreate it no luck, someone give me cliffs on how to.

I think that's in Kyoto photo-travel. Right under the Sakura trees, if you have the right shutter speed they make lines like that. 👍

Yea I know its the gardens/partial color but how did it come out with the black background. Cause it an awesome photo and I wanna know how they do that.

of course

That's an excellent question; I think he just darkened it quite a bit (through GT5). But it COULD be photoshopped, I dunno tho. I would think it's a combination of partial-tone and extreme monotone.

Where's my entry? the enzo shot

Hi suzq044! If you are talking about my AMG photo, yes, partial tone and slow(est) shutter speed. I think the ground is just dark in many places, with some bright spots/reflections/things here and there (you can see reflections of those on the side of the car). I did not pay much attention to the ground and I don't remember if I darkened the shot. But it's NOT photoshopped outside GT5. I think this game produces quite dramatic contrasts both in photomode and in game graphics, someone called it low dynamic range, I don't know but I think us photomoders will learn to use these things to our advantage

But since we are talking about photoshopping in a comp where none is allowed, isn't GT5 "My home" feature perfect way to check this? You can upload your photo there from the game but not a photoshopped pic from usb stick, right?

I voted for Shidapu's blue V-spec GT-R photo, that's not getting enough love in this poll!

 

[Pebb]

I can see this week's poll, being a three horse race.

This is a very good point, as a simple check through GT5 could solve any possible issues.

GT5photographer's shot does look to have the same style of editing as his other shots from 2.0 and his gallery. I'll ask him.

 

[gtfan4life]

My vote is in. Thanks to everyone for posting your awesome work.

 

[SlipZtrEm]

Photographer's shot is infact different from his gallery work, all clear 👍

 

[Nicknamealguem]

About GT5Photographer image, he as the same image in it's gallery, which seems to be quite brighter than the one in the competition, that is why I thought it wasn't edited. Still, I should have confirmed first.

Edit: Tree'd

atlop, you make a good point, but what if I open a image in photoshop to resize only?

 

[motortrend]

Dang, didn't get in

 

[poolhaas]

Dang, didn't get in

me neither, but my vote's in and better luck next time

 

[atlop]

atlop you make a good point, but what if I open a image in photoshop to resize only?

If you export a photo to xmb and from there to pc and edit it there is no way to get it back to GT5 in game photo library, at least I don't know there is, and the library is the only place from where you can upload to GT5 My home (using "share with friends" or whatever it was called). But if it's only about resizing it would not matter since we would be only checking against other modifications.

 

[Nicknamealguem]

But, I don´t think GT5 can make a distinction between resizing only vs. full edit, or in other words, it wouldn't upload both.

 

[motortrend]

Same to you, I also voted. Some of these look very nice, I can't believe how much can be done with GT in photomode

 

[atlop]

True. What I meant is you can't import anything back to GT5 library, edited or not. So only the original unedited stuff goes to your GT5 home.

 

[Pebb]

Thanks for the votes.

 

[ceewok]

just a thought, next time you should have the votes hidden until voted so the person wouldn't be hesitant to vote for someone who has 0 votes

This is a very good point.

It's too easy for someone to open the poll and just concentrate on the 2 or 3 top photos. Also, I can see people voting for the 2nd place photo just to tie the results.

 

[suzq044]

.. or sympathy votes for the few ppl with zero. lol

 

[SlipZtrEm]

There is no way with the current board system to support that. Though really, you only see the vote totals before the polls closed if either A) already voted, or B) choose to click "View Current Results". By doing neither, you don't have an idea of the totals .
