    Testing PIXsizer. Interior shot, on a dark day. This just after I installed buckets & shorty console. Put in an AM/FM & an 8-track. Painted the tape player same as the dash.

    PIXsizer appears to work very well. Picked up the name from this thread.

    Thanks for the help.

    EriK,
    What are you using for the better definition?

    A few editing tricks, remember that downsizing is like pulling the structure of a photo apart. Just make a few basic colours brighter and shaper, and the result is noticeable. I don't say that your photo is bad Steve, you will only notice the improvement when you place the 2 photos next to each other. :beer

    You didn't say it was bad...agreed.
    I picked up on the differences right away.
    Your editing software......part of your photo/camera software?

    Thanks Gary,
    '71 Sandalwood.....you either love it....or you don't!
    Same interior colour I had in my first Skylark, back in '83.
    I've since picked up a Sandalwood 3 spoke wheel & have a set of light brown deluxe belts in transit,to install in the Spring.

    Looks good Erik :TU:

    I just used Irfanview to sharpen up the avatar. How does it look now?

    Didn't they pour alum on things in cartoons when they wanted them to shrink? :bglasses:
