lower my car please

[whisk bucket]

i tried to lower it myself. but i am only a beginner and am not capable of doing it to a high standard

 

[Paul]

This do mate?

 

[theKeeper]

LOL nice one Paul, very nice.

 

[IamSam]

Great job Paul. I like your approach of lowering the top of the image which saves time on cutting out the whole car.

 

[whisk bucket]

yeah paul, that brilliant, could you please do it with the other picture too? much appreciated - reiss

 

[Paul]

Sorry mate i only do one free request a week Glad you like it though, and yes IamSam this approach does it quickly and efficiently

 

[IamSam]

I can't open the first image. Parsing issue.

 

[MrToM]

Here ya go mate....try this one.



Regards.
MrToM.

 

[IamSam]

How'd ya fix it?

 

[MrToM]

I used XnView to open it, then saved it from there. (There is a Mac version available)

It stripped out any meta-data but it fixes the problem. Sometimes the 'jpg' header info can get corrupted and PS being what PS is, it just doesn't recognise it as a valid image file.

This can happen if a filename extension gets changed to something other than the original.

XnView isn't so choosy.

Regards.
MrToM.

I always just do a screen grab, i never download anything image wise

Borrowed from MrToms image...

 

[IamSam]

Took a page from Paul's technique book.

can anyone lower my mates car too, i had a go myself. but its not bery good as it was my first ever photoshop. (im sorry for asking so much, its just that i find in interesting and amazing that you guys are so good at photoshop)

 

[IamSam]

Whats wrong with it? There's just a few minor areas that need a little touch up, otherwise, it looks pretty good to me.

You need a little Clone Stamp Tool work in the areas with the yellow arrows.
And add back a thin shadow in front of the car, orange arrow.
And of course, crop the image at the bottom.

 

[IamSam]

One thing I did forget to mention, in order to make this look authentic (as though it were an actual drive-able car) you would have to move the wheels/tires inward, move the the body of the car outward, or flare the fenders so that the tires would not be hitting the fender wells.

 

[Paul]

Just incase you have tall mates

 

[IamSam]

Aaaah yes...........another of my favorites.........Mini Carnocchio!

Great job Paul.

What a great community here, I'm suprised - non jokes for Micra, no jokes for lowering micra, just calm, good humour.
