The Photoshop Thread

[Brian in GA]

I hope one of you artistic type guys can help me out.  My wife and I had decided to paint the current 68 project Plum Crazy Purple, and she had the idea of a flat black hood on it.  Can anybody give me an idea of how that would look? 

Thanks for the help.

You guys are awesome! Husk thanks a ton. It looks really cool. I cant wait to forward it on. All of the guys over there will really like it I think,no I'm sure!

[Brian in GA]

Thanks, ds!  It's amazing how much it helps to see an actual photo vs. what's in your head.  You da man!

You did some photoshopping a few posts back on a 74 Satellite Sebring, lime green, see the link above.  I've had to ditch the lime green color scheme and the AAR strobe stripes--budget constraints, my wife's ever changing mind, and daughters in college (I've had to buy her three cars in two years) and I have two questions for ya.

One:  do you have a small tutorial on how to do this?  When I use Gimp and go to bucket fill, no matter what I do, I can't get it to look like your work.  I've been trying!

Two: Can you rework this with a matte black hood with white stripes, a white 1972 GTX roof over strobe stripe,  the same rear wing spoiler, a 3/4 white roof--not the full vinyl roof--and in a midnight blue color?  Police Rallys for the wheels, if you could.  No rush.

Love your work. . . just can't duplicate it on the Gimp!

I don't want to steal anyones' thunder, as the photoshop work on here is very talented. I've used it a couple of times myself (ok, quite a bit for hi-end packaging), so if the thread starter is busy, I'll do some too.

My car has been photoshopped to death, and is now Sublime all over...

I wouldn't think someone volunteering to help would be a bad thing. . .I've held back a few weeks since I know how busy he is with requests.  That and the embarassment of an ever changing mind of my wife and my inability to convince her of any damn thing. 

If you want to take a crack at the 74 Satellite, go for it guy, I'd appreciate your work.  The midnight blue I'm asking for is actually closer to House of Kolor's Burple. . .

Thanks ahead of time.

I know it was a great help to see my vision of the car before it was finished.  it's almost done now infact it was color sanded and buffed last night we got the front bumper and the valances on as well as the headlight buckets and grill.  It really looks just like the photo shop.

Here's the revised Satellite.

Question 1:  I've never used Gimp, so I really couldn't tell you what to do there.  But I never use the bucket tool in Photoshop to do these.

Question 2:  Yup.  I think that I got everything that you wanted.  The color (HOK "Burple") looked blue in some pics and purple in others...so I tried my best to match that look.  As far as the hood stripes, you didn't specify which hood stripes, so I assumed that you wanted the same as before.  With the roof strobe, if I'm not mistaken the '72s are a tighter pattern than the '71s....so again, I tried my best to duplicate that look.

Let me know if I'm off on something.

As far as others photoshopping images - fantastic!   The more the merrier.  Please don't think of this as "my thread."  I only started this because at one time there were three or four other Photoshop threads floating around.  I figured it would be easier for everyone just to centralize this topic in one thread.

[Serious Satellite]

Well, everyone here agrees, which is a first, that this color Burple Satellite is great.   Wife would like to see it with black stripes, but what the heck.   Can't please a woman! 

Thanks guy, now if I can only figure out how you guys do this and apply it to Gimp! 

[ds440]

Black stripes.

I wasn't sure if you wanted just the strobe stripe black or if you wanted the hood stripes black as well.  So I did both.

[Dave22443]

Just my  but I like the white stripes better

DS,

Never asked before, you do great work.  Was wondering if you could do the top car for me in viper blue, black top, with a plain bulge hood, hidden headlights, and no bumperettes???  Also one with bulge hood blacked out, with the stripe that runs from the back of the hood along the upper body line to the back...   Thanks

Yup.  Here you go.

Hey ds..You think you could remove the truck in the picture and maybe paint it A4 light gun metal grey with a black stripe?

Man, thanks.  That is definetely what I've been looking for on my car.  Thanks.

Sure.  Couple of quick questions:  Which kind of stripe?  The '71 longitutinal?  Also, do you want the roof to be silver as well?  Interior color?

Let me know and I'll get on it.

[CharlieCharger]

71 stripe  , Black top..black interior ..maybe freshen the grill up just a bit..I really appreciate it as I suck at photoshop

Here you go.   Let me know if I left anything out.

[CharlieCharger]

That is awesome..Can I send you a pic to show you another color?

[CharlieCharger]

 

This is A4..do you have anything close to match that?I appreciate it..You do good work

[ds440]

Aaaahh...gotcha.  I was going off of the '69 A4 which seems much more grey.  I know what color you're talking about - it's almost light blue

Is this better?
