The Automation Photo Editing Competition [Round 5]

I’ve got a vehicle and use the green-screen filter but when I transfer it to a location image the colours are really dull and shit.

Do I have to cut it out of a normal Automation scene and paste it over my location image?

You don’t have to.

It sounds like you just need to put a curves layer on your car to match the lighting with whatever scene you put it in.

Final Entry

Lets get this going! This is a nice challenge. Idk how much time I’ll have to do this over the week so I just did a quicker one.

Xavier Llobet and Rocco Martell are back again, bringing the Enso tuned Znopresk Zeta 1.7 XSX.

Once again, the European tuner company infamous for their extensive portfolio of modified BMMAs, Erins and Znopresks as well as a memorable performance in the Great Automation Run brings out a new piece to highlight the timelessness of the Zeta design. With sleeker lights, wider fenders, flush stance look, a modern carbonfibre diffuser and an exposed exhaust system, the Zeta is catapulted from the early 90s straight to a near cyberpunk-esque look, taking on a commanding presence despite it’s size.

hahah holy shit this might be the first time I’ve won something outright after 2 years of second places

Thanks everyone, appreciate your support, again, have to extend my thanks to Andrea for lending me the car. I do have to admit this was a very simple but distinctive PS job, the two other options were way too hard to attempt within the time I had. Anyway, I’ve passed on my idea for the next round to Evan, so good luck to all again.

Round 2 - Multiple Exposure


@ramthecowy’s winning entry from last week.

Welcome to the second round of the APEC. Our theme this week is presented by last week’s winner @ramthecowy; the theme he provided was “multiple exposure photography.” Here’s what he has to say…

“Grappling with the basics of learning to use photoshop is time consuming and difficult but eventually as you gain expertise you look for new challenges, new looks. I never really got into art formally but am quite interested in getting into it, so I just wanted to see what artsy things you guys could come up with”

Woo-hoo! Thank you so much to everyone for your support, and in extension to @MONARCH for the base car (I believe I haven’t been crediting you enough for it lately, sorry!). It was really fun playing around with masking tools in this round, and it was not very difficult to execute either. I’ll think of a theme that doesn’t need advanced shopping skills but still open for creative interpretation.
