N00B needs help

[Andy Wright]

Morning all (well, if you're in the UK anyway)

I'll keep it short. The attached photo is not an original scan (unless you want to look at it), its merely resized to suit the site and upload limit. As you can see, it needs a little 'work', lol.

Normally, I wouldn't ask on here before breaking out the wacom and attacking the image myself, but I know when I'm out of my depth and know when to ask for help and that time is now!.

I'm utterly lost as to where to start on the image as IMO its the worst case of double exposure I've ever seen.

Any ideas are greatly appreciated and accepted. Please note however that I don't expect people to do the work for me (I'd never learn anything and I find it rude to expect that).

Any ideas??

Thanks in advance
Andy

p.s. In hind sight, I provided a link to the original on image shack.

Here's a quickie. Duplicated it, moved the car above on the top layer to line up with the car below on the bottom layer, cropped it and erased the bottom right corner of the top layer to suit.

Many thanks Ziaphra,

Kind of kicking myself at the minute. I thought it would have been a complicated one....guess not, hehe.

Thank you Michael.

[Kraellin]

Thanx Craig.

Hi all,

I've attempted to replicate Ziaphra's technique on fixing the pic to see how it worked and have attached an image accordingly. Obviously levels etc haven't been sorted yet, but please let me know what you think.

Thanks in advance
Andy

[Ziaphra]

Looking good!

[Kraellin]

yup, looks good, andy i'd say you have it.

oh, and welcome to RP

[Andy Wright]

Thanks, Ziaphra & Kraellin.

Final question(s) for this one......would you take it any further after adjusting levels a tad or leave it alone.

I only ask because I have a (bad) habit of trying to be a perfectionist and end up doing too much which gets the better of me sometimes.

Now where's my photo paper gone....?lol

I suffer from the same obsession!

My solution is to ask my lovely wife what she thinks. If she doesn't point out any issues then I know I'm done.

Firstly, thanks for the welcome Kraellin.

Michael, I guess its down to common sense then (you know what women say about men and common sense....or lack of, hehe)

Cheers for the advice though

Common sense is neither common, nor does it always make sense.

Common sense says the world is flat.

I don't give it much heed.

I just listen to my wife.

Regards,

Michael
