With no photography of the yellow Nissan Juke model in hand, The Fuel Agency asked Stephen if he could manipulate an existing image of a white Nissan Juke. The project also involved the removal of vehicle trimming not available for the Australian release of this automotive range. For the white Juke, Stephen needed to add a solid grey tonal map to colourise with yellow. He then added an overlay of red to match the final product's correct hue and colour strength. The black trim was added afterwards. Franklin then moved on to removing the trim from the additional car variants. The outcome was a seamless retouched selection of images ready for use in multiple pieces of Nissan After Sales marketing collateral.
