My first photoshop attemps

hondaman can I ask of a favour from you just brought a fiat coupe could you do a rough one
could you take this and paste it on another pic please mate

paste it on this

Sorry lol i wanted the race paint from the black car onto the blue fiat if you can mate doesnt matter about the background

Beat you to it I'm afraid!


I don't know how well Fiat Coupes take to being race prepped (aesthetically that is). Loud, brash decals on a really neat and curvy car don't do it for me, personally.

Your 'shops look good! What you can do is, on a layer between the wheels and the arches, add a bit of black round the tops of the wheels just to add a little shadow from the wheelarch. Great otherwise!

What tiny village near Colchester are you from? I grew up in Coggeshall, then moved to Tiptree (which is a big village actually). Haven't lived in Essex for five years or so now though, I do miss the countryside sometimes.

I think you'll have allready found it, but if you havn't the digimods photoshop bible is a good place for tuts. www.digimods.co.uk/tutorials/tutorials.htm

The best way to improve is to practice. It helps develope your critical eye so you'll see things. You might look at the gap in the arch where the lupo's been lowered and think "right, that should be black", and then further along you might think "that looks too black, make it dark grey" etc.

Some of my friends who use photoshop like me seem to dislike using layers, use them as much as possible! it means you can allways go back and edit things without damaging anything else.

last thing, never be afraid to try new things there's an infamous photochopper on the web called Roobi (coincidence of course!) he put up a post on a forum showing his first chops and they wern't as good as this. now he's doing stuff like this..



which is all brushed and imo very cool. but he did that through practice and by helpfull forums like www.carchops.com/ (personal fave). i'm sure they'll help you out two, it's only a hobby for most of these guys so there's no rush to be submitting all the time.

i'll stop before this post becomes an advert.

nice first chops btw ;D

this is my most recent:




EDIT: this was the base btw

WillCarter:
this would be class as a 2 door...

I messed with it too ;D


and a pick up (but I'm not feeling it tbh)

Late update, just got this finished off

I know what you mean, especially when finding wheels to put on the images and the light looks compltely different. I think the 350z wheels were a bit too shiny for the car :/
