It's time for me to start my own thread  I am nowhere near pro, but I am slowly learning. Feel free to educate me. I was messing with Aperture 2.0 that I just installed and decide to edit one of my favourite pics:  Enjoy! More to come. dL |

Can someone tell me how I can calibrate or get a correct colour profile for my Vista PC? The pics on my PC seem to be yellower than my Macs.

I like the first one...the sharpness and clarity of the front headlight looks good.
Anyways...you know what caught my eye? The weird reflection on the rear passenger window.

I hope it's not too overdone.  but I don't know how to edit out the noise completely. I guess I need a better camera to begin with  Btw these pics are all taken on that Panasonic camera that Olivia got (forgot the model) in Auto mode hehe.. yea I'm nub still dL |

Theres a lot of noise in the pics...What ISO are you shooting at?
The only thing I would so is play with the shadow/highlight tool in Photoshop to try and create some luminosity and reduce noise
Good Job Derek!

I used Auto mode but from the settings that the computer tells me, it's ISO 200. And I did play with the Highlights and Shadow settings and it didn't help reduce the noise.

P&S cameras tend to have high noise, even at low ISO. Was the original picture slightly under exposed? Still, your shots have nice composition. I wish I could shoot cars as well.
I use Noise Ninja too and it works well.

Probably because your camera auto focused on the headlights...

I can see that diffuse glow filter was also added in one or two of the shots at least. Diffuse Glow has a "noise" function too  |
