Refinished Wheels

I added the flat black to the original gloss black.

How did you clear up the photo?

It went from slightly blurry to crystal clear?

BTW - rims look really cool!!!

You can do that with most photo editing programs. I took the same picture and opened it with Microsoft Office Picture Manager at work and did an edit picture. Then did auto correct...was still a little off, so I adjusted the brightness and contrast a little and got it to look just like the edited one posted.

Thanks Deb...

I guess my concern is that I have taken excellent crisp clear sharp digital pictures with my digital camera but when I upload it to this website, it seems to loose some of it's sharp clarity.

I must be doing something wrong when posting pictures here.

The trick

is to adjust and resharpen a picture after you re-size it for posting. When you re-size smaller for posts, dark areas become darker due to the compression and details get muddled due to loss of contrast and brightness.

By the way for all of you photo shopping that first pic is the real thing not a photo shop. That is flat black with gloss black, painted already.
