Straight film scan of original KR 100 negative of car shot on top of a bleached white cement parking garage upper deck with sun at a very high angle..

Slight levels and curve adjustments only were applied to bring scanned image (mostly washed out highlights) into viewable bounds before saving scan.

Rework #1 of image using levels, curves, texturizer and noise filters.

White brick wall overlayed onto original white wall using PS's texture/brick filter.

Noise and sharpening were added to pavement all the way into the shadow areas.

Actual hue of car not adjusted a great deal, but tree was given some saturation treatment.

Rework #2 mostly shows the use of the hue adjustment on car and in the sky to a lesser degree.

The hue adjustment brings out the purple in the paint that normally photographs as dark navy blue as can be seen in first 2 images.

Slight magenta hue in wall was caused from this final adjustment.

Image saved as a JPG progressive 3 with sharpening applied.

Hope this helps some of you car photographers out there.
