What Plug-In did you use to get this effect??

I have PSP 9 at home and would love to try it out on apparatus picture that I have.

I was using a version I found on the internet through random searching. It was called Photoshop Express. I believe the setting I used was called "Pop Color."

On Mother's day, on my way home from my sister's house, i called my dad and asked if my mom and I could come down to the shops. Nothing new in yet but since my dad is a permanent sub at the shops now, i should be the first to know on new stuff. Here is Pumper 7 with the cab tilted.

Good shots from inside the shops Ben. I have never been or seen inside of them. I like the lighting of the second to last shot with the 2's and 7's!

Here are a couple more Photoshopped pics I have. More of the "Pop Color" feature, that seems to be my favorite setting.

Departments out your way seem to have a wicked thing for the Power Arc Warning Systems. Are they happy with them? Are they reliable?



My department is specing a new ambulance and we have a salesman trying to get power arc's nose under the tent here. Thoughts?



Thanks!![/quote]



Doesn't that have a lot to do with the powerarc guy being local (he also founded Code 3 and owned the Ahrens Fox trademark.)

I would imagine that has to be part of it. I dont mean to nit pick, but the founder of PowerArc is the son of the founder of Code3.

Code3 is fairly popular in St. Louis still. Both companies are based in St. Louis County, MO.
