    Default Old wrecker

    I hope that this post is somewhat better... Sorry
    I should have toned down the colors a little...

    I deleted the image but not the post.

    Upload new images. I really liked the after image.

    Keep your images under 800 pixels wide, and upload one image for before and another image for after.

    If you make a bitmap version of the image with the bright colors you can reduce the Saturation in Photo Tool > Enhance.

    Or, place a rectangle over the entire image, apply a 60-90% black fill and apply a Flat, Saturation transparency. Black will create no saturation, grayscale, and white creates total saturation. So you can vary the fill color until you are happy with the saturation.

    In the attached example, I placed a rectangle with Black to 50% Black Linear fill and applied a Flat Saturation transparency so you can see the degrees of saturation.

    Laser1 I like what you did, and Gary I also like the way you toned it down. Good job both of you.

    Never give up. You will never fail, but you may find a lot of ways that don't work.

    Laser1 I like the watercolor-look and the old truck has so much character!
