Thanks man... I tried to do a lot... there is still time to do more but I might be a little burnt on it... lolz

 

i hear ya.. i was gonna change the background but i couldnt figure something i could settle for.. o well


but yeah.. here's mine..



if i actually get back to it.. ill update

 

Very nice....

I'm liking this contest. There are way more entries than ever in the past.

 

Yeah, more the better, but then again the tougher.. O well, we getta see where the photochoppers are at

 

Someone's gotta show me how to do such a strong color change like everyone seems to be doing. Are you just doing the digimods method of image->adjustments->variations?

 

There are several ways to paint cars... I always do my selections of all of the painted parts with the pen tool and then create a new layer and actually paint it like you'd paint a car.

Then that layer can be adjusted any way you want... or even have multiple layers.

There is no one right way to paint a car... some people just adjust the settings of the paint that's already on the car but if you do it that way be sure to have made a duplicate layer underneath the one you change so you can delete all of the non car paint parts like windows and wheels and BG.

 

I can do a tutorial if you want, it'll take a couple of hours though.

 

i just select the painted body parts.

Image>adjustments>selective color

and mess with it through there and usually every time comes out really good...

 

Working with the pen tool is something I need to practice more. No need fora tutorial though.

Do you guys ever work with luminosity masks? That's something I've been trying with my photos lately but I just don't seem to be able to get what I want out of it.

 

never tried the lumiosity stuff... i usually duplicated the selected item you wanna change. then image>adjustments>hue/saturation>color and then adjust from there.
