Well you said girls drive white cars. Bitches = chicks lol
Chicks dig white cars
You'll get laid if you have a white DIAMOND pearl car.
I for one will admit to your statment, sure nobody knows me but I don't use my car to pick up chicks and the fact that ive been taken for 5 years doesn't help :/
But in any case.. 60% of the owners on this site have WDP!!!! So sorry black isn't cutting it. LOL!
bitches need lovin tooo alright... lol

some things you want to play with to add color are:
highlights
shadows
midtones
contrast
brightness
exposure
levels
curves
hue
saturation
let me clarify something: these don't add color, but enhance the color already in your picture...they help manipulate and bring out colors already there...
i can't tell you what to do or anything...just have to mess with the different options until you've got something you like...the above options can be found in adobe photoshop and photomatix pro...
in one image, here's what i did to enhance the color in ballinfizzle's pic (it's a big pic, so i'll just link to it)...

let me know if you have any other questions...

I think photoshop just sucks, or actually I'm pretty sure it's me that sucks. I've been trying to play with it for ever and it never works! How do you generate an HDR from just one image?

What you can do I think (not sure) is make 2 more images (one high and one low exposures) manually then create an HDR image from that.
rimz, am i right or am i wrong hha

Hahaha yeah, the exposures are to bring out the midtones, highlights, and shadows, but Thats the only picture I gave him haha, and I mean it said generated HDR on the pic he linked so Im guessing photomatix just did it for him automatically? haha

photomatix has a 'generate HDR' option...you only need one image to generate it...however, it's not a true HDR because (you're right brian), HDR images are composed of at least 3 different exposed images...
after generating and HDR image, you tonemap it to a viewable format as true HDR images can't be viewed on our monitors...

Black gets dirty easier but looks super nice when it's clean and shiny. Since I've tried both colors, I could say I give the edge to WDP. And no I'm not a bitch.

All new paint that is used for vehicles must meet these standards. The EPA standard for paint now is what makes it appear "thin" and "watery" but it is every car manufacturer not just Acura...
This is why there are so many more rock chips in the hoods of cars now... the paint is 'thinner' due to the regulations thus allowing it to be chipped easier...

It is simple math really... take the number of NBP cars and the number of DGP cars and the numbers will tell you which is more "exclusive"...
Also, I would NEVER be caught driving a TL of a different color... you crossed the line man... no going back now...

here's photomatix's answer to your question:
The Dynamic Range of real-world scenes can be quite high -- ratios of 100,000:1 are common in the natural world. An HDR (High Dynamic Range) image stores pixel values that span the whole tonal range of real-world scenes. Therefore, an HDR image is encoded in a format that allows the largest range of values, e.g. floating-point values stored with 32 bits per color channel.
Another characteristics of an HDR image is that it stores linear values. This means that the value of a pixel from an HDR image is proportional to the amount of light measured by the camera. In this sense, HDR images are scene-referred, representing the original light values captured for the scene.
Whether an image may be considered High or Low Dynamic Range depends on several factors. Most often, the distinction is made depending on the number of bits per color channel that the digitized image can hold. However, the number of bits itself may be a misleading indication of the real dynamic range that the image reproduces -- converting a Low Dynamic Range image to a higher bit depth does not change its dynamic range, of course.
· 8-bit images (i.e. 24 bits per pixel for a color image) are considered Low Dynamic Range.
· 16-bit images (i.e. 48 bits per pixel for a color image) resulting from RAW conversion are still considered Low Dynamic Range, even though the range of values they can encode is much higher than for 8-bit images (65536 versus 256). Converting a RAW file involves applying a tonal curve that compresses the dynamic range of the RAW data so that the converted image shows correctly on low dynamic range monitors. The need to adapt the output image file to the dynamic range of the display is the factor that dictates how much the dynamic range is compressed, not the output bit-depth. By using 16 instead of 8 bits, you will gain precision but you will not gain dynamic range.
· 32-bit images (i.e. 96 bits per pixel for a color image) are considered High Dynamic Range. Unlike 8- and 16-bit images which can take a finite number of values, 32-bit images are coded using floating point numbers, which means the values they can take is unlimited. It is important to note, though, that storing an image in a 32-bit HDR format is a necessary condition for an HDR image but not a sufficient one. When an image comes from a single capture with a standard camera, it will remain a Low Dynamic Range image, regardless of the format used to store it.

How'd you get a loaner?!? I was just there on Friday and the service people told me I had to be 21 to get a car even though the car I drove in that day cost as much as two loaner cars...

Hahahah you guys are funny, Where my NBP boys at when I need em?!
Damn! It must suck to go slumming and be a lower class! J/K my WDP friends! My last loaner was an SSM, worst part was a smoker had it before me and the windshield was covered in nasty shi*.

Damn Fizzle! Et tu Brute??? This thread threw me for a curve because of the title, that's why I never looked at it before! Hahahahahaha! Forgive him Father, for he knows not what he does...
But all of you beeyoyiyitches know that NBP is the shit! Accept no substitute for the real thing! It's us...and then it's the rest of the world...pay attention dammit!:
NBP...a cut above, a breed apart...and outta this mofo world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
