**Packard Convertible**

Adjustments with PSE10 - Image desaturated with NIK Silver Efex using the Antique Plate preset - Using an adjustment layer with a layer mask I added the color back to the car body and to the American Flag. The original is in the comment section.

ISO 100, 1/160 @ f4.0, EC 0 (DD)

From a local Car Show near our home recently (Getting a clean shot of a car at a Car Show without a lot of people around was a miracle all by itself)!

Basic adjustments with PSE10.

  Fabulous, Jeff! And I'll say again that the Packard Motor Car got started right here in Warren, Ohio - and there's a museum filled with old ones just waiting for interested photographers. C'mon up!
