Testing a new signature I just built ... would be interested in feedback ... I've exaggerated the saturation, since the original image was flat ... I know I've gone beyond Redfire ... comments?????

 

Its a cool sig just should have color matched the white part and it would look twice as good.. but looks great!

 

Heavenly!!!

 

that looks really good. adjusting the saturation is definitely a positive. i do that on just about every picture i take.

i think my only criticism would be to put a shadow under the car, 1 so it doesnt look like its floating, and 2. so you can help out the cutout of the wheel. youre not always gonna get a perfect cut around a wheel, and adding a shadow will definitely greatly improve the look of it.

 

Looks good.

I would add a stroke, shadow, and round off the wheels a little more with the smudge tool.

 

Thanks. I've corrected the white color, and added a very small drop shadow. Now tell me what you mean by stroke. Thanks.

 

stroke/add a border to the space scene...

 

ok well first off, drop shadows are a no no on cars

make a new layer under the car layer, and use the brush tool and make a black blotch under the car resembling a car shadow, then adjust the opacity so it looks like the shadow is on the site page, and erase/smudge it until youve gotten it to look good.

to add a stroke, select the background layer, and go to the blending options and click the one that says stroke.

adjust the positioning to inside, outside, or center, depending on where you need it to be to show up (good).

and obviously you can adjust the size, color, opacity, etc.

 

for the way i make shadows, this tends to be easier for me:

select the layer the car is on and go to select>load selection so it puts a marquee around the car

then make a new layer under that one and fill it with black

free transform/warp the selection till its under the car and looks like a shadow (alter opacity/fill also)

 

thats not a bad idea.


personally though, i like to use the original shadow if at all possible
