[Acid X]

Hey all.. Im proud to bring you the first ever muscle car photo-chop!

Rules are as follows:
1. Dont change the car so much that its not identifyable by me atleast..
2. Please try to keep from ricifying it!

i'm gonna do something with that Cobra! nice picture!

 

[Acid X]

i must agree. it is a good picture there loud.

 

[LoudMusic]

I went on a Cobra hunt about a year ago. This is probably the gem of the group.

~LoudMusic

 

[Acid X]

Nice work.

 

[-Fred-]

erm, why do i have 2 light blue lines over and under the Cobra? :reallyodd

 

[Acid X]

WHat are yout alkin about PR?

 

[-Fred-]

as highlited by the arrows.

does it when i enlarge the picture as well.

 

[LoudMusic]

Those are guides. The guy that created the image probably had them for some other reason.

CTRL+H will "Hide Extras". This is also in the menu under View > Hide Extras.

~LoudMusic

 

[-Fred-]

ahh... thanks for the tidbit! that's something i didn't know.

 

[LoudMusic]

Guides can be very handy ... in vector programs! I don't really understand the value in raster apps though.

Cobra BLING BLING.

~LoudMusic

 

[LoudMusic]

Oh wow, major improvement over that nasty green.

~LoudMusic

 

[-Fred-]

it's hard not to bastardize it... you did a pretty good job! :thumbsup:

i had plans for a huge blower on the hood, but it doesn't look any good...

 

[Acid X]

Poor PR. THat looks awesome Loud.

 

[-Fred-]

bah, it sucks... i was trying for double exhaust tips, they're not that bad...

 

[LoudMusic]

How are you doing your color change?

~LoudMusic

 

[-Fred-]

color/saturation thingie, sometimes i use the layer's effects (you know, multiply, superpose, etc) to make it look more real. this one isn't too good, though...

 

[viperguy]

those are good, but it's missing something... 💡 I know!!!on the BLING BLING, it needs some dollar signs on those white circles. on the red one, some fire somewhere.

 

[Acid X]

Heres mine after about 1.5 hours of work.. I think this is all im goign to do to it, since i cant enter it into the contest

What i did:
Made the air scoop bigger
Enlarged rear tire
Changed Color
Added some 7's

Thats about it. Nothing special... Hardest part was getting that "realistic" red color setting..

What do yall think?

 

[ALPHA]

Loud' the mountains in the background are possible the best background change that I have seen it actually looks real!

You guys love Photoshopin' I got Photoshop 7 I know how to use it but I don't know where to get decent pics of wheels and spoliers and stuff!

 

[-Fred-]

that's the hardest part... thankfully i have well over 6000 car pics on my hard-drive, from old Formula 1 cars to Group B rally cars.
