Can Photoshop be considered art? Inspired by Art-Deco motoring posters (e.g. Monaco GP etc), I played with an image. Just using some filters. The base image is one I took at the BBC Rallysprint Donnington in 1979, so I guess I own the copyright of the image anyway. I think there are a few commercial artists on here, thoughts? Mark ps Wonder if I could get away with painting this on the garage door...

throwing a filter over a photo, isnt in my opinion art, its pretty lazy, no offence intended - its just one of those the cliche things with photoshop. its modifying a photo someone else took.
you could defo make art using photoshop though. requires quite a lot of skill

I tend to agree to be honest, although it is my photo. I was just interested to see if I could replicate the effect of this type of poster. Would be interesting to scale the image up to wall size though. While looking for that image came across this one,

Now that Pebble Beach one is cool but has that been drawn rather than manipulated?

you certainly could do that, but no amount of filters will make it happen. like i say, lots of skill and technique goes into illustration like that. it would be using lots of pen tool and filling spaces with block colour. the whole thing looks like it would then have been blurred to removed the cleanness which would make it look as though it was a modern render. there are people on here which have done similar things with car photos. theres a thread on here about it somewhere.
it is possible in photoshop, give it a go, get drawing!

I think the photoshop effect of the op's is cool. If you own the photo I don't see a problem. However, more importantly................Mmmmmm Singer Porsche, yes please!

its the sort of thing that would almost look good as a canvas/oil painting but in my opinion, it just needs a few tweaks to make it artistic.
if that was asn oil painting (which is what it reminds me of) then it would be brilliant.

I'm thinking of doing it as a poster using a limited palette of felt tips. I'm struggling with the background, want to use a minimum of colours but still get the speed/panning effect.
Could try oil or acrylic but still need to sort out background.

just using a filter is pretty lazy - but if you used that result as a guide to then draw over the top and create a cleaner look like the example that would look better and maybe considered art
