[TC9] Combine Harvester and Hot Rod

[pgplay]

I see what you mean! The second photo looks way better. What did you do? Just some balance/saturation/... settings or did you actively edit the photo (remove background/shadows...)? I need to learn how to do this

That is a good question - do explain :)

Use GIMP. Sariel made a tutorial for it. Google 'Sariel GIMP tutorial'.

Yes, Sariel's tutorial is an excellent starting point. I played with the colour curves and a tiny bit with the contrast to get the second picture. Your will most likely develop your own photo editing style/procedure based on the type of picture you usually take.
