A lady I know gave me this picture of her hsuband on a motorbike coming out of a cloud of smoke and dust, which she wants me to print up large for her but doesn't like the large white section so much. I have had a play with it but am not sure how to bring a bit of colour into the white. I know that there is no detail to bring back into it so anything done will have to be added.
Could you guys have a play with it and show me what you would do. A quick rundown of what you did would be helpful as well. Thanks
I know very little about PS, but played with it and that white is pretty darn solid, even with dodging and black andwhite conversion,sepia, channel colours, I was able to get a little more detail and two other heads and some strange pixal things in the left hand corner
Maybe someone with more PS know how will be able to help. But that solid white wall is a block for me.
Well, there's the obvious; You could crop the picture and make it a little tighter around her husband. Then maybe play around with enhancing the riders and trees in the background. Otherwise, I really don't know what you could just 'add' to it... But the cropping would get rid of some of the white at least.

I was hoping to make the white not so white. The cropping will happen but will depend on the size she wants printed. I have actually moved the others riders closer to the main rider for the sake of interest. Maybe some sort of vignette effect could work???
Here is the very first original that I have done nothing to. I need to go now and wont be checking this thread for a couple of hours. Thanks
No sure if I linked this properly.
well if you turn down the brightness and contrast it looks to be a holeshot photo if she has any other ones that you could edit him into from that day, id say that would be your best bet
did you shoot that in raw? If so, you have a chance of rescue. In fact, if you have Lightroom you could salvage a lot from that I think. I don't mind the minimalist look but the magenta outlines really bug me about it.
