Kinda cool but don't expect much. - 7/15/2006 1:13:12 AM    87 turbo II Posts: 1692 Joined: 3/25/2006 From: Atlanta Georgia Status: offline Ok I learned how to roughly use photoshop. I can do really simple stuff like change wheels, turn on headlights, maybe change colors, etc. So if you have a picture that you want me to photoshop, I can try and help you out so you'll know what something looks like. I'm not that great at all but I'm just learning. If you want to see what your car would look like with _________, leave a request, picture of the car, and picture of the mod here. _____________________________ Post #: 1

It is a rough rough idea that will hopefully give you an idea of what your truck would look like. It's still very far from perfect but not bad for a day 1 photoshop user. _____________________________ (in reply to 87 turbo II) Post #: 7

I'm sure the current blotchy appearance of the fiberglass body didn't help anything. In about 1 year I should be able to post real pics of it all painted up and we'll compare them...

Getting that rare orange was hard and if I had matched the colors perfectly the seams may have blended so well it would be un noticeable but I had to make yellow white before I made it orange, and it was an off-white unlike the front of the car so it threw me off. the harder part was the roll cage. There are so many things in the background that are the same color as the cage I couldn't "color group" it. So I had to use the polygon outline tool (which is why it looks blocky and squared) to outline it, then make it orange. I couldn't use the freehand tool because my mouse is crappy. The wheels will slip on the internal sliders inside the mouse ar slow speeds, which I need for precision. In other words it was a hard pivture to work with but it gets the idea across. _____________________________ (in reply to sstlaure) Post #: 9
