Boeing

Any advice as to how to make this a better photo is much appreciated.
Needless to say this was a tough lighting situation.
I photoshopped as well as I could...

It doesn't look too bad as is. I played a little and think a quick curves tool setting the black on the "t" in the word "the" worked great. -COAmature

Thanks Rod! I've adjusted per your suggestions. I also uploaded where the file started. It was tough to not get too much red glow. Lot of magic wand tool used here. It was a lesson in the making.

This is what I ended up doing with it in my galleries:

(sorry, I still don't know how to make links in comments. I try, it messes up, I delete. Always the same story...)

I knew I needed some of the environment with the sign though so I worked on it until I could reasonably say there was environment.

Thanks for the help! -Christina

Thanks Rod for the mini-lesson in Pending. Those are the little tips I can use, as PP is something I try to keep to a minimum. (Mostly cause I don't know what I'm doing yet. Shhh)

Good job in Pending, Rod. It shows how pp can level the playing field - I'm learning. It's also a good shot, Christina, which helps more than a little. -tv

This has a sort of an over exposed look to me Christina, I had a play with it & posted the before & after in the Pending gallery. I know you need to keep the surroundings to be on topic & I think the darker one I like in Pending still does that:-)
