LOL - I can't stop: Jason Williams (Pristines4) Member Username: Pristines4 Post Number: 419 Registered: 12-2002 Posted on Friday, June 20, 2003 - 1:45 am:    Here's a few more I did earlier: Here's one of the vintage faces. I like it in black and white. Adds more to the feeling of the picture, IMO.

You can use the magic wand tool to highlight all the surrounding arears (make sure not to highlight the car at all), and hold shift to highligh multiple areas. Once the majority of the area is highlighted, go to Image > Adjust > Desaturate. That should leave you with a rough "desaturation." For the remaining color, zoom in as close as you need using the zoom tool. Repeat the steps with the magic wand + Shift. Let me know if you have any trouble. Or if you just want me to do it for a picture of your own, email it to me at [email protected].

And how do you do that? Those look amazing.

This brings something to mind that's been bugging me for a while. Have you ever noticed how horribly bad, like REALLY atrociously bad most of the ads are in 'high end' magazines like Dupont Registry, Robb Report, etc? Dealerships are the worst..they usually have a decent shot of their building, but then they digitally hack in a bunch of cars that aren't really there, and it just ends up looking like some cheap place that has to fake a big showroom full of cars. Seems like two guys here spent a few minutes in Photoshop and came up with much more interesting pictures. Wonder if I could get some freelance design work from these guys...hm. -R Jason Williams (Pristines4) Member Username: Pristines4 Post Number: 412 Registered: 12-2002 Posted on Wednesday, June 18, 2003 - 12:47 pm:    5 minutes with Photoshop resulted in these: Dr. Shelbee (Shelbee) Member Username: Shelbee Post Number: 362 Registered: 12-2002 Posted on Wednesday, June 18, 2003 - 12:48 am:    How about from the top view??

Ken A (Zff) Junior Member Username: Zff Post Number: 80 Registered: 12-2002 Posted on Tuesday, June 17, 2003 - 5:01 am:    Try this.... Park your car perpendicular to your garage, right at the entrance. Make your garage as dark as possible. Most of the bodywork will reflect back the dark garage, but the light coming from above will enhance the sexy f-car lines. Take a digital picture. Using photoshop, make the background black. Then crop out the part of the picture with the lines you want to enhance them. This is something I discovered by accident. Here's how mine turned out:
