Tech request: How to photoshop...

I have seen lots of photoshop requests.
I am wondering what it takes to do it?
Do you need a special program?
To kill 2 birds with one stone... I would like to see a chopped version of this panel truck.
could somebody do a how to and use this truck?

 

I'd love to help you with a tutorial, but there are a lot of various ones online, and i am a HORRIBLE teacher... lol!

But the program you need is actually called "PhotoShop", and is produced by Adobe (http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/photoshop/)

But anyway, here is your chop of that truck though that i just did....

 

can be done a buncha ways. generally i use paths created by the pen tool to select areas and then use the transform tools (warp generally) to manipulate the selected area. same selection can be used to alter color etc. adding trim and deleting areas becomes tricky. personally i'm better at illustrator but i'm learning photoshop.

 

if someone else is gonna photochop this as i'm working on my thesis, can they add some supremes and thin whites for ****s and giggles?

 

photoshop is a program. its about $600 new. it would be tough to do a tech on a photochop. you would just need to learn how to use the tools because depending on the picture, there isn't only one way to do it.

 

if you want to just "play" do a google search for "GIMP" -its a free photoshop-esq program you can Download, they have tutorials too, this way youre not STEALING the program.
BTW- i am a Photoshop user at home and in my graphics business, but for "playing" at my day job, i got GIMP. theyre similar enough.

 

Have a look at

www.digimods.co.uk

lots of tutorials on there specific to modifying pics of cars. Unfortunately they are mostly what I believe you folks call 'ricers' but the techniques are the same.

 

damn, you guys are fast. before i finished typing it was already chopped.

 

Here is one that I've referred several students to when I taught a multimedia/web design course. http://www.tutorialized.com/

 

thanks guys, those sites will help,.... you are right I should have asked for the supremes and pinner whites too. It would look better without the bling!

 

DONT CHOP IT.......LOOKS GREAT AS IS! my 2 pennys~!
