I thought this would be fun.

I am kind of on a BW binge today... Converted to Lab and used the L layer for the starting point. Then added layers from the black (via CMYK), red and blue channels and used "the best" of these.

I fear that the trade-in value of this fine vehicle is gonna be nil.

Another great B&W Danny!

LOL, Steve. We don't talk about trade in value until the deal on the new one is done. ROTF.

Did you ever sell used cars?

No, Steve, but I've bought a few. I hate to trade cars. I always go in with a good idea of what I want to pay and give the dealer ONE shot of making his BEST deal. If it's not even close (usually isn't) I'm outta there. Funny how when you start packing up your stuff to leave, they can "check with my manager" and come back with a better deal.

Steve & Danny- great work as always.
But Swampy...man you really rocked this one. WOW!

[Swampy]

Thanks, MikaJo! :-)

Swampy, that's just beautiful. , both the original and your version.

Mine is AHB, hard-light blended onto a coloured and textured canvas.

I agree with your method wholeheartedly! When it should be a most pleasurable event, buying a new car is usually one of the most nerve-wracking, thanks to most of the dealers out there.

Now! On another subject I also agree with your comments re. Ro's AHB work.

FOUR thumbs up Ro! Really really nice.

Ro, I have been meaning to comment on your words of wisdom that you include with your messages.

Along those lines I heard someone ask a Porsche owner why in the world they would want a car that will run close to 200mph. The reply was: "Because it will."

An excellent image and some very nice interpretations. This version was painted in photoshop using the impressionist plugin.
