Old cars. New Twist
 

I have files and files of old cars that I've taken over the years. I finally found something I can do with them all.

All involved masking then using Xero, Nik and Topaz in varying degrees.

Love the chrome and contrast. I'm unfamiliar with Xero, Nik and Topaz. Filters?

Yep. Xero is a freebie plug-in, Topaz is apparently a program that could stand alone. Topaz can mimic HDR or, as one person put it, "cartoon" images all depending on what you do and how far you do it; All can be used for retouching as well as manipuation. We had been using Nik quite a bit at the studio for retouching and finishing.

your car stuff is fantastic...again!

how does one get xero?
