I am loving the original to be honest so this ones unusually subtle, just edits of the original shape.

Tweaked the whole frame to get smaller at the front for more agressive look. Had a roof chop. Tinted front screen and quarterlights. Bumpers removed. Door handles removed. petrol cap and wing indicators gone. Tinted the original wheel centre caps. And of course lowered it.

Oh, and a respray... I had the paint left over and thought I may as well use it up.. honest guv :P

Dave I have photoshop CS3 £700 package of course I didnt pay for it lol.
Downloaded when it first came out and its a great software package.

Takes getting used to but well worth getting.
Toff, yh ill have a play about tonight and see if a splitter or extended bumper will make it look more aggressive.

Dave, I use photoshop 7, doesnt have all the automated tricks that the cs versions have but given that I learn how to do them in older versions I would feel cheated if I didnt get to pretend these things are hard :P I remember when they first introduced layers !!! And history !!! Now I feel old.

All paid up, its only fair if you use it for your work.

wow, you mean 6ft under :P


Liking it mate, I think the car has its own style that shines through all of these photoshop versions. When I see the ones we started with before I automatically want to shove as much on it as possible, this one just needs tweaking.

Start slow, there are some very easy things that make you look like an artistic legend !
I have literally no artistic skill. Seriously, all done using a crappy laptop Gspot pad thing and flid hands. You can either be arty, or just use the program to cover up your lack of art.

My main tips are :-

Layers are your friends.
Save regularly.
Save to a new file often. History is great but not deep enough.
Rubber stamp covers your mistakes and edges.
Use opacity on tools and layers to cover sharpness.
Learn how to use 'replace colours'. I learnt this about a week ago !!!!! After doing it manually for years.

And ask ask ask, if you need to do it you can be sure one of us lot has had to before :)
Dont ask me about the roof chop or the cabrio for a while though :)

mate, what have you done there to give the door lines the curve and make the arse stick out like a mini ?

Looks like a cross between a skew and a perspective ? Could be useful.

I reckon one rule for this comp, no secrets, if you get asked then you give up info, we are all learning :)
