Going to spend the rest of the evening testing on some other photos. PSN is down for maintenance so there's not much else to do.

Photoshop.

 

[Aragam]

Photoshop.

O.o tried that and it doesn't do anything?

 

[leeislee]

You have to open the Actions window and load it. you can then play the action on a picture you open.

Many thanks Fat Buff Guy, I'm always looking for photoshop filters, great sharing for sure.

Ummm, sorry but, which version of photoshop is the best for GT5 editing?

All is fine. The later versions just have more fixes/features over the previous one. For example, I used to be using CS4 until I moved to CS6 last year
November and the only few noticeable improvements were decreased rendering and loading times.

 

[zzz_pt]

I use Elements 8... Sometimes CS4 (very few times) and it's alright.

The thing is just to know how you can use the tools you have at your disposal...of course that in PS elements 8 I don't have some cool features that CS5/6 have but it's OK for the kind of things that I do in GT5 shots.

 

[[Nor]MclarenF1]

I use Photoshop CS3. The biggest difference between this and the latest version is mostly optimised performance (shorter loading times) and some new fancy features.

Metropolis...Fusion Cell Conversion

I created this pick for a tutorial i had planned, of course, i made the tutorial and you can find it here...

Excellent edit, Lee. Composition's spot on.

 

[max351]

Suggested by leeislee, I post it here.

​

Not really a tutorial but speed editing.

 

[Watchman]

That video is still helpful if one is familiar with the tools you used. 👍

Yeah anyone familiar with Photoshop can see and understand everything you done.

One question though, why didn't you just cut out Nico in Photoshop? 👍

 

[zzz_pt]

Yeah, all the brake lights would only be on like that when the brake pedal is pressed. But it's a great edit and a great video. 👍

 

[zzz_pt]

That is obvious 👍

 

[Fat Buff Guy]

cool vid!

 

[max351]

Because I think that illustrator are more intuitive and easy to use for me. Especially for this kind of manipulation


Ya, the brake pedal is pressed. I tought that the rendering would be better as if the car still seemed in working and abandoned by the driver. ^^

 

[Kodje]

This thread is just another brillant idea Lee. 👍👍

Don't forget that the emergency brake could be put on (probably not implemented in-game, but the point still stands).

 

[leeislee]

Has anybody got any requests for tutorials or freebies? i'm sure between us all we can share anything!

Just can't promise your request will be fulfilled!

How about adding weather/wet road reflections? Tried a few times and I just plain stink at it.

Also lens flares and.....floaty light bits...

Reflection Tutorial 👍

Also, that floaty light look you're aftre is a photo of some bokeh that is photoshopped into the picture. (Layer blending mode set to Screen perhaps?) You should ask Fysho for his exact proccess as it may be different to how i would do it 👍
