WEEK 1
​


After being moaned at and nagged at by a few members of GTP (no names mentioned........DRIFTN, VONIE) I welcome you to the latest Drift Competition however this one has a twist. Photoshop is allowed. Thats right! Editing bans have finally been lifted. Seeing as this is the first competition i think i will go easy on you and hold a free week. So anything goes..........as long as its drifting! Good luck and lets hope this competition is successfull -

Special thanks to everybody who encouraged me to get this going and to Diego440 for the banner pic which i then photoshopped.

YES!, You let so many restrictions free with editing ... woot, woot.

Im onto it as we speak.

Final Entry!



I Must Advise to never use this car for a photo shoot. The front end needs so much clean-up work its not funny. Hence the scrappy result on my attempt.
 
Driftn...

Your seriously starting to get on my nerves with these blasted nice shots of yours. You best cut it out!

:D :sly:
 
Driftn, did you use 440's cut and paste method for the wheels?

BTW, I've just put a link to this comp in my signature.
 
Wow, Thanks Swift!, (and thanks for editing my post) :D.

gt_masta: Im gathering you realise i take pics at stand still and add blur?. Yeah well i actually just add radial blur, then i grab the smudge tool and kind of smudge the shine around the wheel a bit 👍 Works alright with alot less effort.
 
Finaly the first photoshop comp. I'm no expert with the photoshop program/sofware, like DRIFTN, but I do what I can :)
FINAL

The pic came out great... but still, there are so many possibilities with Photoshop. There are quite a few guides available in the stickies, I suggest you give them a try. 👍

Thanks for the advice, i think i will.
 
Wow GEETOWN has a very nice entry as well!!👍 No real sign of photoshopping but well...its still an amazing shot!
 
Korncholio, I think you tried to clean up the pixelated edges with smudge. Smudge is a dangerous tool IMO, and if I were you I would try again and zoom in on the picture, get a 6mm brush size and 40% BLUR this time. Blurring just blurs the edges so they wont stand out too much. Look out with it though, but smudging is the only thing you did wrong.

You can see the car is kinda distorted and rimply. The little border looks awsome though, wich can make a real difference in pictures, keep adding that one andthe shot itsself is a pretty unique angle too. The car choice is good too, and the blueish color fits well:tup: I'd say you did a good job.
