All this basically is is Gimp's "old photo" script-fu. But since I don't particularly like the way that sepiatones, I did that first in Photoshop with a gradient map.

Hephaestos, I don't know what year that car is, but it seems to me to be an "older model" -- your image could be from an original ad for this fine vehicle!
Nice work!

Started by removing the background. Then took another shot at a kind of watercolory effect based on this action by ErickN:

Another rare result. Thanks for the explanation on the other too. Much appreciated. You're on a roll, keep up the good work!

Hi Legacy Art,

Here's my attempt.

I duplicated and blurred the Layer with a Mask to retain the sharpness on the car. Created a Hue/Saturation Layer to Desaturate and lighten the image. Copied the mask from the previous Layer to again block the effect on the car. Created another Color Balance Layer to give a bit af a warm tone on the background again using the mask to protect the car.

Regards

The results so far are great. I can't say I like one more than the other because the work is superb on all of them. There is one thing though...no one has mentioned what kind of car it is; and I'm so curious.

An MG perhaps?

Whatever make it is I thoroughly enjoyed Painting it this morning. Thanks for a great photo LA.

Painter 8.1
I used Cloners/Wet Oil Cloner 10 all over the vehicle at around 47%
varying only the size of the brush.
Went over all the car again, same brush, lowered opacity 20%
Used the soft Cloner at very low opacity to allow some background
to show through.

I've given this a couple of USM zaps because the brushstrokes would not show through here otherwise especially when having to compress the images.
I doubt this USM would be necessary for printing, haven't yet tried to print too many Painter results yet to know for certain. With a low quality image to work on, the smaller 'details' also aren't evident of course.
