My First Stab - 350z

[No Crust Racing]

Hi Hi,

Recently upgraded from PS7 to CS2 and had a stab at the digimods tutorial on changing colour. Here's the before and afters, constructive criticism is welcome. Will be dabbling more with this one and putting wheels on etc.

I know it's nothing special, but as I said my first go and only took like 30mins =\

Ok just added wheels, I know the reflection is changed but yeah constructive criticism. The back wheel looks a little flat and blending/colour options are off but hey, that's 1.5hrs of tutorial experience =D

what u'd need is change the opacity of the shadow colour so its not as bright in the shadow and the handle needs to be silver ....thats what I can see needs changing anyway. The rest is damn good for a first go

Now try lowering it...

[No Crust Racing]

The handles are body coloured in the original, or do they just happen to be silver on all models?

Will have a stab at lowering it soon, time for bed now =D

Cheers

Heres a lowered quicky...I couldn't be arsed raising the reflection

How do you do that and preserve ground lines?

[Topaz]

1. Cut the car (using PS obviously) along the same lines as the pink one I have drawn.

2. Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V.

3. Hold Ctrl and hit the down arrow till its looks chocolate B).

4. Delete the top of the picture. As you can see I didn't in mine and the auto log is half cut.

**Don't cut from the edge of the pic into the car if your cutting the surrounding scenary.

here is my first attempt

Good first effort, even with a lowering. Few things you missed like the Nissan and Z badges. Also if you hold [shift] and hit either up or down arrow you cycle through the 'blending modes' which can only be performed on a 'duplicate layer'. Blending modes along with brightness and contrast make it look more glossy
