^ I like the first one for some reason. Eitherway nicely done.

Just practicing cleaning skin and trying not to make it look fake or using any filters etc.

Basically healing tool, little bit of dodge and burn. Haven't gone overboard with it. Kept it as natural as possible.

I don't do this often so im no pro.. but just practicing here.

Before:

After: hmmm now that im looking at it again found a few noticeable mistakes :(

Matt - I don't normally like the photos where you can see the bonnet. It feels so over used and tasteless. That said, I really like your first photo showing the engine :D

Sidd - I think those stretch marks on her shoulder blade could of been removed and the ear-ring piercing otherwise awesome job. I use photoshop around 5 hours a day for the past 8ish years so if you need some help with anything, give me a buzz man!

Did you up her eye colour intensity very minutely?

I've just gone and added a few extra things to your photo sidd - hope thats ok!

That looks so much better. How did you remove the stretch marks?

I want to learn without using any filters/actions etc that you can purchase.

Did you just use slight blur on the shoulder blades? To be honest I havnt touched the shoulders at all. I just did the face. But I will attempt it again tonight.

Thanks for offering your help man :)

There are 101 ways to do things in Photoshop. To do the shoulders, use a clone tool (pasting on another layer) then you can use lighting effects to blend it into the stretch marks.

I always need to try a few different methods before I find something that works well and I am happy with the outcome. It's rare to just know how to fix something straight away...

I made her eyes and lips stand out a bit more as they are key features of hers.

Fixing the piercing really makes her look more natural - It's a big blemish (Obviously if a piece of jewellery was there, it wouldn't be the same case)

love the clear bonnet shot matboy. and the blue/green highlights as mentioned by someone else also.

sooooo, went to take a proper 360x180 pano today. got the stand and home made head out the car, about to attach the camera to set up the nodal point and bam, forgot to bring the bolt, ffffuuuuuu.

shot this handheld so it wasnt a total waste of a trip.

I agree with Sidd - that is an AWESOME pano, mate. Seriously, it makes me even more distressed that you smashed up your G11 so you couldn't take more shots. :domokun: You've got the talent, USE IT, even if it's just for fun!

Oh, any news on the job front? Fingers are crossed for you.

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I highly rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
