The Before & After Thread

[Boabdulrahman]

As the title says, post your original shot straight from GT6 with it your edited shot beneath it. I know a lot of people always wanted to see the original shots from some of the amazing talents we have in this community. This thread will help people identify some of the "secrets" behind some of the photographers here, of course if they wanted to show their original shots. It's up to them. But, of course this thread is for anyone to post.
Credit to RetroGiant for the idea 👍

I guess I'll start with this shot because of the attention I got from it

It's always interesting to see the sorts of edits that go into cool photos. Here are a couple of my recent ones...

Amazing work everyone!


I'll share my last edit. I took 5 shots with different exposures, imported them with Photomatrix Pro to make an HDR, then I ajusted the tones and noise reduction in Lightroom and finally in PS I made the composition, manipulation and final touches).

How do you get your gt6 photos to your computer/iphone? I know you can use a USB drive but is there a way to do it online?

Not sure that this is the thread to be asking that, but I only know of & use the USB method.

Amazing edit! 👍

Cheers mate!

Don't own the game, so got this image from a Flickr GT6 group.

80+ project


First:
shooting ingame (here I have only 79 shots because I've deleted some of the others that were just to make "bridges" between some detailed surfaces). This step took me over 1h30m.

Second:
Make 9 panoramas

Third:
Vertical collage/pano

Fourth:
Heavy edit and retouch... as you can see there were parts missing and serious problems due to camera distortions... This process took me over 8h.

Fifth:
Detail edit. Retouched in LightRoom and final touch in PS.
