Thought I would photoshop a few photos of my A5, hope you like them!

The shots were taken on a trip through Eskdale in the Lake District, 700ft above sea level, and I was REALLY pleased with the quattro.

Excellent... Where's the best place to buy Photoshop? Any tips. ;-)

If you have not used Photoshop before then I would recommend starting with Photoshop Elements:

Amazon are doing it for 60 quid and free delivery.

These shots were done on Elements and the latest versions are quite powerful.

Good luck, it can become addictive!

Nice pics. Intrigued! For the second one with the blurred surroundings, is that a filter in Photoshop or did you take one picture moving the camera to get the blur and another picture of the car, then select/copy/paste just the car from the still picture over the blurred picture?

It is just one photo. The secret to this kind of look is layers. First make a duplicate layer of the photo and the using the background eraser remove the background, leaving just the car. Then blur the background layer leaving the car sharper. Actually the car is also blurred a little or it looks too fake. Finally, the lights are another layer to allow me to get a balance of brightness I like. It takes a little experimentation to get the balance that looks right.
