^ 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.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
