Can some one photoshop this, with a sunlight silver 8 and silver rims.

Thanks,

no, but I call tell you it would look great IMO

 

I cant photshop either but thats a nice damn 8 anyway. Makes me want to ditch my wing and get the mazdaspeed wing like i should have done in the first place...

 

I know, the whole car looks bad ***. But mine is silver instead of black.

Yeah, and you picked the absolute most difficult color of a car to Photoshop to a Sunlight Silver RX-8. Close your eyes and imagine it. :D

 

hmm, a sunlight silver with silver rims... sounds like a stock rx8 to me! Just do a search and you'll be sure to find one.

 

uhm... howsabout mono/chrome?

 

I'm on my way to lunch so give me a couple of hours and it'll be done. Unless somebody beats me to the punch!

that was a tough one.. what do you think?

(now let's see if i can master the art of posting a pic..)

 

Hmmmm. Chrome. I like it.

 

nice

 

Well here's mine, I made the wheels silver...

 

thats awesome

 

haha...black sure is hard to ps into another color aint it?

 

Yes. It's an absolute beeyatch to get all the shadows correct because well, shadows are black too.

 

what tool are you guys using to do that?
color replacement?

I've been using photoshop for years but i started way back with 3.0 and these new versions have some tools that i never learned to use.

 

i'm using photoshop CS with a Wacom tablet. i just used a combination of masked adjustment layers- curves and hue/saturation. the reflectivity of the black paint was the hardest to deal with.. the reason it looks chrome instead of silver. no easy way to fix that..

 

I used the color replacment selector to choose what parts I want grey, then brighten them up. After that the whole picture turns grey, then just use the history brush at differtent oppacities to darken up some of the areas, then use the history brush at 100% on the backgrounds and vehicle windows and tires. I think the pic above mine kicks mine's ***! Good job bud.

yea, I could tell you used a brush because of the unclean lines around the wheels, but the color still looked realistic.

I have CS, but I barely ever have time to play with it.

 

the fun part about adjustment layers: it's easy to spin the color afterwards

 

so did you magic wand a selection first to build the initial selection layer?

 

I can only bow down to these photoshop God's. Great job to all of you>

 

No I used the color replacement to choose what areas were to be highlighted. Then made the color change all at once.

 

photochop 101- i used the paintbrush on a separate layer to create the template for the mask. for something like this, it's easier than fooling around with the selection tools (plus you can do semi-transparent masks for blending). once you have the 'mask' layer, you ctrl-click that layer to create a selection area that you can use on other layers. you can also create adj. layers while the selection is still active.. i'm sure there are 100s of ways to do it, that's just mine..
glad you guys liked my pic, thanks

 

Capt_BunnyHead, you rock! That's some excellent work. Wish I had those skills...
