i find sometimes it's the camera angles on gt4 that make subtle differences. i have to say though, that NSX looks real hot! i dont see any thing that would make u not like it.
maybe u dont like green ?

are you still using gimp? cause if so i really cant help you, but i didnt adjust it on this picture, as long as you shoot it relatively level, you shouldnt need to adjust it...


Did you had to adjust the wheel blur angle?
 
thanks for the comment jgda9rs, but no i bought the car because of the color, haha....but thanks....and pink, the wheel blur is a different type of blur called a radial blur, in photoshop you click that after selecting the wheel with an eliptical marquee and it automatically makes it look like its spinning, you just adjust how much or how little spin you want...also when you click on radial blur, you can do what is called a zoom blur which allows you to add a blur effect that makes the car look like its going forward, not just left to right....

Well i finished saving up to get my Blackies...and got them last night so from now on, i should be able to post full size updates...its just that i didnt want to waste days cause i had to save up to get my blackies!
 
Yeah, I now got it, there was another option in Gimp to get the angle fixed 👍

I still have aproblem, take a look in my gallery were I tried to blur a GTR R34, see the white? That's what keeps coming, no matter what I do, it's still there 👎
 
thanks for the comments guys....and pink, did you do a gaussian blur layer underneath all of your motion blurred layers?...idk what else it could be...also make sure that you dont still have the selection selected...deselect it before you do any blurring...other than that i really dont know what could be causing it...
 
Ok i tried really hard to do a good job on this one... i spent a whole lot of time with the smudge tool so that it wouldnt be very pixely...ill post the original and final so you can see the difference....

Let me know what you think!! Thanks!
 
haha...well its just that i dont think that my shots are quite as clean as yours...i mean your m3 shots were soo nice..i just dont think that i could do that...idk...but thanks for the comment!
 
I like this image...i just wish that i had did a better job of cutting out the car...oh well...

Wow, you really seem to have this blurring just about perfect.

I think there are just a couple of things you could work on.
If you add a bit of grain to the photo before blurring it will make the blurring come out better, and give it a bit more texture. Also, I think you you try tweaking the levels, saturation, etc..

But your shots are great as they are. Keep up the great work.
 
thank you guys for commenting, for some reason, no one has been commenting on my stuff lately, and i will never get better if i dont hear advice from guys like you...i really appreciate it...and i will give that grain thing a try...thanks!
 
Nice, the blur is spot on, but you might want to add some noise on the road before blurring it, it will probably look better.
 
Nice Drift pics with 300ZX and along with the zoom effect.

Also props to the Jet Black Special Race Car...looks nice. You race Midfield alot from looks of it

haha..well whenever i tune cars according to Duck's specification, you know how he has the whole page full of setups?...well he posts a time of what he can run on midfield with every car...well when i tune my cars, i try to see if i can run close to his time...and i figure, while im there, i could just take photos...haha...

Pink:
That isnt a very good picture to blur because it is soo jaged...it makes it really hard to cut the car out accurately, and honestly, cutting the car out can make or break your image...also, when you want to blur a wheel that isnt being viewed dead on, you have to cut out what you want to blur, paste it on a new layer, use the free transform command, and make it as close to a circle as possible, and find the center of the rim..NOT the center of the circle...and set the radial blur center about to where the center of the rim is....then when you are done with that, re free transform it and get it as close to the original size as you can....turn all of your layers back on and your done...but you solved the issue of the white surrounding your car..that is good...keep trying pink..you have sooo much potential...

GT
Yea, someone told me to use a grain effect on it, and i did that and it does look really nice...the next image that i post has that in it...so keep a look out!

Thank you all for posting!
 
Pink:
I blurred this picture for you...it was really hard to do those wheels and i tried to do the right one but it looked like S**T so i just left it alone...but it was really hard to do so dont hold me to it if it looks bad...anyway i thought id show you how it would look if done the way i told you above...
