Hi guy's

My names Nate, I only recently got into photoshop after purchasing Elements 10, so I could chop things for my car.

Hoping to learn a lot of info from the forum

Thanks imp:

Ok, I made it to 5 posts.

Here is the original side pic of my car before any attempt at editing


Then I lowered it a little


Next I wanted to make it black, this is my first attempt at black


Then I had another crack at black, changed the colour of the calipers and I really wanted to make the wheels white but I couldn't get it to work


So I chopped some white wheels into the pic, but I still want to see mine white if anyone can help.


And here is just an enhanced pic of a friends car


What do you think?

Nice images mate, i am more of a 4x4 guy though.

nice nice.

Funny sign in the background saying "shops this way" .

 

[kouki_s14a]

I tried to remove the sign but it kept on taking a bit of the cars A-pillar.

 

[Paul]

I moved the sign and did a couple of colour and lighting enhancements for you.

Sweet, thanks Paul

That's what I was trying to do it was getting quit frustrating. I managed to get the sky like your edit but the wall was killing me.

 

[Paul]

Clone stamp a new layer and some magic lol.

 

[kouki_s14a]

I made another attempt, I managed to get rid of the sign but I rushed the paint a little.

 

[Paul]

Maybe drop the tone a little on the paint, or have you tried using a plug in from Topaz. You will get excellent effects from that i can assure you mate.
