Is anyone good with Photoshop???

Post by FtoSam »

Hey, I wanna change the colour of my FTO. I want a bright Orange with gold pearl(http://techcenter.davidson.k12.nc.us/fall014/home.htm same as supra) with a CF Vented Bonnet (http://www.uniqueautosports.com.au/pric ... bonnet.jpg)also getting VS front sides and wing. Have done Tail light tinting.(http://server2.uploadit.org/files/kazba ... 9tail2.jpg) BTW That is not my car.
I was wondering if anyone can photoshop a FTO with a VS kit to put a CF Bonnet and make it a bright orange. The black bonnet and taillights will be like a contrasting highlight. \Thinking of GT Stripes over top in black too. Also getting black 5 Spoke mags. Is this do-able? I really wanna see what it would look like (or close enough) before i start to fork out my hard earned moolah.
anyone?

Issues

Post by dstocks »

Problem is, if you are cutting and pasting from several images, size, angle and lighting all have to be almost exactly the same or it doesnt look real. You can do a certain amount of colour replacement, but you need to retain a lot of the information in the picture or again, it wont look real. Using something like the air brush wont work by itself as it will put out a straight colour.

I can skate around the edges of Photoshop, but im no expert. My brother is, he does animated TV ads etc, but the amount of time it takes to create this stuff is staggering. To do what your asking would likely take 10+ hours work.

Duplicate that bonnet layer... set it to 100% solid colour then change the layer from normal to color (on layers tab). That'll get rid of that excess orange :D

I'd do something up but quite frankly I'm too lazy and have too much on today.
