Photoshop fun..

[DSC]

Alright, so after seeing travis' beauty
http://www.steamymirror.com/dsc240sx/images/rims/travisrims2.jpg
...I thought I would check up on the Kosei K1 racing rims. With the 16x7.5's weighing at just a hair over 15.5lbs and costing $160 a peice, these are definately rims I could "see" on my car some day...so I thought I'd see how they would look.

I like them a LOT, and though I'm not getting rims any time soon, these will definately be at the top of my list.

Would someone mind lowering it a bit for me (say ~2") so I can get an idea of how she will look later in her life <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/inlove.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':love:'>

Edit: Here's (http://www.steamymirror.com/dsc240sx/picture/exterior/s14-3.jpg) the original pic. I wonder how the brakes get any air with those big things <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/cry.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':cry:'>

Anyone know where to get the K1's in white but 17's? tirerack only has them in 15's.

Also can someone make DSC car a convertable with ken and barbie riding in it? &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>

caution: you may want new springs desperately after viewing:







http://members.aol.com/presofa/loweredDSC.jpg &nbsp;that would look pretty nice. &nbsp;sort of like my car, but blue. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'>

NOOOOOOOOOOO

nobody else can have the same stuff i have. (halfway kidding)

yeah yeah.......he woulda paid more though

i don't even know where to get buddy club's. and they are not exactly the same. 20% off everything from tirerack is enough reason for me to get kosei's.

[AceInHole]

well, DSC's car is now lowered with the kosei wheels, and looks way more badass than your's <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'>

yeah i noticed that as well, i don't know why, but his does seem to look better than mine. possibly because of the bigger drop. who knows. either way, his car is "fictional" while my car is real. &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'>

Yup, got the rim pics off tirerack.com and that was the only one they had up.

nice work. &nbsp;gotta repaint the car pink though... barbie always drove pink cars for me to run over with my R/C monster truck....

[coolerow]

I forgot to add in a Ken doll too.....

[mbmbmb23]

It looks SWEET with the lowered suspension....I'd get some coilovers before the rims. &nbsp;

----> Ace: &nbsp; Can you re-edit one of the pics and lower the car on the factory rims?


M

[AceInHole]

to think the car might've actually looked like this at one point... (when i blew out the stock struts)

[mbmbmb23]

Looks cool....the rear almost looks like a Lincoln Mark VII. &nbsp;Can you photoshop slam DSC's car also (on factory alloys)?

I agree.. HAHAHA.. but the Drop top does look good on the S14.. &nbsp;(hmmm........ &nbsp;I wonder.....)

[Jeff240sx]

Does anyone care to tutor me in PhotoShop? &nbsp;I would really like to know how do add rims, lower my car, and change colors on it. &nbsp;
Kinda like the "Give a man a fish, and he'll eat today. &nbsp;Teach a man to fish and he'll eat forever." &nbsp;I don't wanna have to ask you guys for pics. &nbsp;
Could someone please post, or PM me, or AIM me at "Sleek S14" or email me at [email protected]?
Thanks!
Jeff

[sil80]

LMAO - I didnt think anyone would do it... that is really funny. I think the S14 looks good as a convertable.

Dude, jeff! &nbsp;This is a car forum nobody give a damn about fishing <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'> <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/hehe.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':hehe:'>

I just started playing with the "lasso" tool a couple weeks ago...
I don't get how to lower the car w/out distorting the pic even though I was told in the past. &nbsp;Still lost on colorchanging and cutting part of the pic out w/out leaving a blank spot <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/butbut.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':but:'> whoa...

color changing = hue/saturation

now... you must learn how to use the clone tool....

[Jeff240sx]

I dunno how to lower / add rims to a car. &nbsp;I have a pic of Enkie Bortex that I'd like to see how they look... but alas, I can't.
As for fishing... I always have to fish with a magnet for my plugs when I change them. &nbsp;A few pointers here and there can shorten the time of a lil maintainence job. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'>

i didnt just change the hue/sat on the rims.....

i changed the brightness/contrast and added a filter as well as a Blur to them, to give the real-look to them. to match the car. Clone tool does help a lot but you gotta make it look real, and not jus Alt+click on one part of the forest and start stampin' away. Gotta make it look legit. Having several different layers also helps not getting the images mixed up.

lol... i re-blurred the rims and layered some smoke over the wheels.....
but just tell em one thing at a time before we get blurry high contrast photochopped stuff comin in from all angles!

[KiDyNomiTe]

damn you guys are masters at this, I only know how to blend objects and change rim colors, changing car colors is still kinda complicated cuz you gotta stay in the lines, so what your saying is in order to cut out part of the pic you gotta use the clone tool, imma go try now
