Hi Guys, could someone please help me with the following:

Smoked turn signals
Blacked out center lip (Where radiator opening is)
Black Side mirrors

 

Did this in a few minutes, everything came out good but the mirrors, still havent learned how to use replace color correctly.

 

Great! Thanks pure! could you make the center of of the lip black too. ie. vinyl the area under the license plate. hope that makes sense??

 

 

Fantastic! Thanks a mil Tai-Lun!!!

 

Hey Tai-Lun. What option did you use to recolor the mirrors?

 

black is easy and you can get it using many different ways...

select your part with the magic wand or quick selection tool
image > adjustement > desaturate
image > adjustement > brightness / contrast

play with this and you'll get black while keeping the lighting and effect of the selection

for other colors dont desaturate and go
image > adjustement > hue/saturation

here's an exemple of photoshop i did with ken's fd

 

Colorize and adjusted Multiply layers painted, took all of 3min in photoshop.

There are many many ways of doing effects and color changes, its picking the right one for the job. Full color changes like Ken's FD are a little harder and take more time as they tend to look "fake" a lot of the time.

I also use a tablet instead of a mouse, so editing anything is much faster.

 

I have been looking at buying a tablet for some time now but havent been able to try one hands on yet. Im lookin at the new hp multi touch tablet. What kind do you have and what do you think of it?

Also what do you mean by "colorize and adjusted multiply layers painted?"

 

Thats a really nice job!

 

I personally think 99 spec lights with black surrounding would look better:


and i would leave mirrors untouched that is: in red

 

+ 1
99spec turn signals / black center lip / keep mirrors red

 

I think you guys are right, red mirrors and 99s. will see what I can do. Thanks for the comments.

 

I have a Wacom Intuos 9x12 at home, a Wacom Graphire4 for the laptop and work gives me whatever size depending where I'm working (9x12 - full screen)

If you work in photoshop or painter or anything Adobe all day, yes they are much better then a mouse. The mouse does not compare to tablet capability at all, tablets make work much faster and pressure sensitivity means artists like me can draw and sketch fast like we would on paper.

colorize - i painted the area black, changed layer to colorize so it overlays the red in black and keeps the highlights.

multiply - duplicated the previous layer expect make it multiply and adjust its fill/opacity

^this is a "lazy" fast way to do it I think lol, there are many ways to do what I did.
