Art & Inspiration The Photoshop thread to end all Photoshop Threads!

I think white is the winner in this batch, still thinking poss a lite tan or maybe lite gold..........thanks

 

@flynstone

Here's one in light gold....

 

And another green..

 

thanks sorry for the hassle, that's looks good but I was thinking something diff I will find and post...thank you so much for hard work

 

moose I typed in rivi gold and a site came up that answered my question, so I'm good...thanks again for you work on this site...you rock

 

Hey Moose, could you photoshop Cody’s into my possession?!? LoL!

 

NO offense but if Photoshop had that capability that car would be sitting in my garage...

 

Hell, if Photoshop could do that I'd have Photoshop, a space/time warping garage, more cars than Mr. Leno, and a grin you couldn't budge with a nuclear blast.

 

You all do FANTASTIC work in Photoshop!!! I never got around to getting a real copy of Photoshop, so I just mess around with MSPaint a little.
I try to find a photo online that is of a sufficient size & resolution and right click and SAVE AS onto my desktop. Right click on it and OPEN WITH and select PAINT.
I use the "Free Form Selection" and simply draw a line across the gravel and up & over the wheels/tires an approximate amount that I want to "lower" the car, and simply drag the ground and the tires UP into the body (which I learned the hard way was far easier than trying to actually lower the body). It'll leave a gap in the gravel, but doing another "Free Form Selection" and copying a small, random, patch of gravel and then using Copy and then Paste all over the hole in the gravel, you can "fix" the holes that you made. (Check out the sky above the car - I intentionally did a little more crude job with the clouds so that you could see how I've done it.)
Obviously you can't (easily) change things like paint color or wheels & tires unless you get really good with the Copy & Paste from another photo that you have open in MSPaint
I also like to mess with background things just to see if anyone notices. You can "borrow" pieces of the car to "fix" things like trim & glass, or "borrow" things like bricks to mess with the house in the background. "Hmmm.... I thought that house had more windows on that wall....???" Enjoy!

 

@Yellowrr
That came out pretty darned good. Have you ever tried the free program Gimp. It has quite a few good tools to let you be a bit more creative than MS Paint. I used to play around with paint until my daughter who is a graphics designer let me use her version of Photoshop and the rest is history.

 

Just because.........I thought it might be interesting to post the photoshop Moose did awhile back with a pic of where I am now.

 

Wow that looks great. I love it when I see a rendering of something I did in bitland become a reality...Thanks for posting...You made my day!!!!

 

Wife wants wheels on her wagon. Can someone doctor up these hurst wheels on here?

Whichever wagon is easier. Hers is pulled apart at the moment.

@tripleduece

And one with the patina.....

 

@themoose - Thanks! I've had a lot of fun with my friends over the years using Paint. I've heard of Gimp, but have never actually sat down, installed it or tried it. Life just moves too fast when I'm not in the office working. Someday I'll slow down a little.
For what it's worth, I also use a free photo handler / viewer called Irfanview. LOVE it for batch resizing, renaming, cropping, tweaking overexposed or badly lit photos, etc. (Google it or download it from CNET, etc.) It's no Photoshop either, but it's FAR better than the standard Windows photo viewer that comes preinstalled on most PCs now. One really minor Irfanview feature that I use often and love is dragging a box around the photo to create a Crop border and then being able to drag it bigger or smaller on any edge without having to start all over again. I also use the Batch Resize/Rename feature for getting the photos from my phone down to a reasonable size (from the 5 MB/ea. that my phone is stuck on). Did I mention that it was FREE? I have even sent this guy a few bucks over the years because I like it THAT much!
I'll also have to find some of the other Paint photos that I've modified and post them here some time.

 

Free for all

 

Perfect ..... Leave it alone.......

 

Now that's next on my to own list. Just like that as jimmy said ....leave it alone (alright play with the colour but that's it) Flamed48 its beautiful I'm jealous

 

A minor chop a couple of small mods and a change in color....

 

Themoose, incredible! Thank you sooo much!

Any of you PhotoShop gurus want to have a go at colorizing this historic photo using the actual colors of these kustoms?

 

@Peanut 1959

What were the actual colors?

 

Could one of you gentle men put the car in gray and white with the black steelies on the rear as well thank you

 

Damn Moose, that's real fine.

 

Thanks Jeff !!!!

 

One of the best lookin chevy IIs I ever saw was a gloss black 4 door sitting level with a set of these on it, I had a set on a 2 door sedan once and they just seem to suit these little cars perfectly but thats just my .02

 

thanks again to @madfish this totally changed the build of my car.
I am going white, and thinking of running the spare out back, but just wanted to thank you again
