I'am sorry for what i'm about to say but: i doubt that some (most of) pictures were taken using cross processing filter and/or were not editied... :/

Nop... they are all perfectly (I think) unedited.

Must be from the monitor i'm using...lol

It realy seams that some missed the filter.

 

[gamerdog6482]

Looks that way to me too.
Specifically the C63 AMG, 599, and 8C shots. They don't look cross-processed.

They're all straight from photomode.

You can still see the slight purple tint in the highlights from the filter. I say bravo to those who managed to expose it so properly, that filter is a pain in the ass.

Well, here was my entry:

Any thoughts?

 

[SlipZtrEm]

The signature greens and purples are evident in all of the shots, some just are more subtle than others. The exposure settings are key with that filter.

As for editing: unlikely, unless someone is going to extreme lengths to hide it, all of the usual giveaways are present for direct-from-game shots.

Voted (Nascar Shot)

I'll also say that I included in the submission thread a link to show I used the correct filter.

Here it is again -

Lots of great shots!

Unusual week for me, made the 2.0 poll and not PMC

 

[Nato_777]

I am happy that all entries did infact use the cross-processing filter. I have experimented with this filter alot ever since I started taking photographs in GT5 and I know what sort of results to expect. I wouldn't have used a cross-processing theme otherwise.
As SlipZ mentioned - the exposure settings are the key factor with this filter and quite varied results can be had within the exposure range.

@ gamerdog6482 - Your entry just didn't grab my attention as much as the ones that made the poll. The composition is a little weak - in this case I would have preferred the shot to have been taken a little closer, lower and less centered. You've got plenty of potential so keep on trying and I think you'll come up with goods.

I'm kind of shocked the Maserati GT has 0 votes

I can see where you are coming from, and honestly I didn't expect to make the poll for the reasons you mentioned.
And thanks for the compliment! It means a lot.👍

Now 1 vote. lol

Maybe it's not so impressive compared to other photos.

Great choice of theme! I've never used the Cross-Processing filter, i always thought the filter kept the purple/green shades, but upon using it, it got better with more or less exposure. Great learning experience! Thanks for the vote already too!

Wasn't expecting a decent shot during that race, lol it was a tight-fought rally battle and the three of us were neck-and-neck through the whole thing
