I haven't been around here in a while, thought I'd pop in and see whats going on. We've had some down-time here at work with the latest snow storms, so I've had some more time to browse around and play around with things.

Here's a picture I was playing with yesterday, during some down-time.










If you're bored, feel free to show me what you can come up with

 

Here's a running list of what I know of off-hand that I changed on the car.

looks awesome! actually, every photoshop you do amazes me

 

 

That does look great! I have to hard time changes colors but obviously you don't.

 

it's all about layers.

 

how long did it take you?

 

Hard to say, since I was at work. The time actually spent working on it, was probably around 2 hours I would guess. The most time-consuming part is finding donor parts that look exactly or close enough to what I'm looking for. I had to go through about 45 pages of pictures on a miata forum to find the best wheel stance for what I wanted to do.

 

well at least i know i'm taking as long as others when im doing my fancy ones like that, lol. and by fancy i mean detailed, lol.

 

I wouldnt necessarily consider 2 hours to do that, long. I know for a fact that I move rather quickly with the stuff I do. Most of the stuff like this that I have done in the past, while I was still rather new to the program, would take the better half of a day to do.

I dont know too many people that dont know Photoshop by the back of their hand (at least to the degree of what they would need to know for this type of project), that would be able to do something like this in that short amount of time. It took me 4-5 years before I was able to do something as intricate as this, in that short of a time period.

But, dont let that fool you. When it comes to Photoshop, I am a stickler for perfection. You will notice, most if not all of my posts with a "final product" in it, will have edits made to the post, for the simple reason of having made many touch-ups after I thought I was finished the first time.
