Default New sig please :)

Haven't had an updated pic of my car as my sig in a long time so why not!

Only decent picture I have :\

Maybe have it say HamMach1 somewhere... otherwise I know you'll make it look sharp

Haha dude that's cool. BTW maybe you dare not share your secret, but how do you "cartoonize" peoples cars. Like some people's sigs look like you've used the "cutout" filter in PS or something.

lol, it's no secret basically, all you need to do is use the 'poster edges' filter, having the 'edge thickness and intensity' levels rather low and the 'posterization' level very high. then clean up the areas of the car that have similar colors (i.e. select the area and use a paint brush to 'smooth out' the similar colors into one color). it's not super hard, but it does take a while to do.

here's a link to a 'how-to;' joo made that explains it in much better detail: https://mustangforums.com/forum/chop...-tutorial.html

Cool thanks man! I need to get PS again so I can play with pictures like I used to. That'll be a while though.

if you want to give it a try, there are some free photo editing programs out there; GIMP is supposedly very close to photoshop
