If you have Photoshop, you don't need to buy expensive filters and camera equipment. You can polarize your photos for free in Photoshop. I have created a script in Photoshop that automatically polarizes photos to any customized setting. Neat stuff!
I do a lot of editing in my new photos but i havent found that setting yet. But on average i spend about 2 hours editing each photo so any time i could save, i would like to. But where is that setting found at?
I've always wondered how people can spend so much time in Photoshop editing things. If I spend more than 5-10 minutes editing something then I consider it to be too long.
same, I'm usually around 30 secs to a minute per pic
I ussually spend about 5 minutes on a boring car and go up to 10-15 hours if i really like the picture.
10 to 15 hours? One could paint the photo faster than that! What could you possibly be doing?

The GT40 picture is the only one that looks like it took time. The first two hardly look any different. I would rather wait for a better photo than do all that work in post-processing.

The BMW was covered in bug splats when i removed the shadows so i had to take all of them out and fix the mesh behind the grille and everything.
The McLaren had some bug spots and shadows i had to get rid of along with rotating the rim emblem (which i had to learn how to do).

You can tell where there is a little missing from the back of the GT40

I didn't even notice that you rotated the emblem. But now that I look at it, it does look much better.

The bug splatter shouldn't take any time at all, it's basically just a click on the spot and a click to a cleaner spot and the clone tool patches it up. I don't know how to rotate the emblem but I wouldn't care to do it if it took more than 2 minutes. It seems like what you did was really minor (except on the GT40) so I don't see how it took you any hours at all.

I like to zoom in a ton and get every single spot on the entire car.

But i don't even understand why we're arguing about this. Maybe i'm just slow at photoshop and have a lot of extra time/pacience (no clue how to spell that).

I'm just commenting on the things you are saying. I just don't see the point of spending so much time on one photo. It's just nitpicking and no one would notice whatever imperfections you claim there are. Where do you even post them anyway? Based on my own experience, my photos are pretty much forgotten after a day anyway so it doesn't seem worth the time and patience for something that has such a small shelf life anyway. If it was a photo you were going to frame and put in your room or something then I could understand making every little detail perfect, but if it's something you're just posting on the Internet then it seems too trivial.

Tbh, i ussually don't post them anywhere. I just edit them and save them on my computer most of the time. Although i sometimes do print them and send them to the owner of the car as an 8X10.
