Little Car Fix-up

[Carson]

It's nothing special, but I figured it'd be a good exercise. Get an old car off images.google.com and fix it up. I know I removed the hatch on the right side of the car trunk. That was an accident but I can't be asked to go back and fix it xD

Post your own to try the exercise.

Nice work Carson, just needs a top coat of shine now:mrgreen:

 

[Carson]

ibclare, LOL. and Paul, idk how I would put an overlay of shine? Maybe I'll try some stuff later.

Adding a gloss or shine effect is fairly simple.

See if any of these tutorials help!

Most of these will work on cars as well.

I see Sam posted a link here's another way

With a better selection process you should be able to create a blank layer in overlay mode and use the prominent blue color of the car and paint over the blue area and probably reduce the fill opacity to 85- 90% that should give it a shine

 

[IamSam]

You can also add a Curves adjustment layer (set to overlay) adjusted to the bright side, reverse it's layer mask (Command + I), and then add the shine using the Brush Tool set to white, a soft brush, and the brushes flow set to 3% to 5%.

Add that latch...couple of minutes with clone will do you!

I'm a huge car fan too, but I never even thought you could do this much with PS!
