Maybe you heard of a kickstarter campaign called "blackprints", it was covered by autoblog here

and looks like this

Blackprints-Car-Design-Prints-1.jpg


Blackprints-Car-Design-Prints-7.jpg


Blackprints-Car-Design-Prints-4.jpg


and so on, for further cars please see the campaign


But as Sabrina Chun obviously stole all the images she used (largly covered in the comments on autoblog) I thought: hey, I steal your idea 💡
And because I have GT5 with me: hey, I have over 1000 cars to do :sly:

lasiurus on autoblog wrote a quick tutorial

In case anyone here is interesting in learning how to do this yourself in Photoshop, here are the steps:
1) Google car Image > download > open in PS
2) In the top menu, select > Image > Mode > Grayscale
3) In the top menu again, select > Image > Adjustments > Levels > Push Darks and Lights towards the middle of the slider
4) PROFIT!​

And I am looking for a nice spot on the track for standard cars and a nice spot on the photo scenes. Anything you photo geniuses would recommend? Not much detail I guess but I am sure you guys here know all the tracks and corners way better than I do and can help me with it.

Thanks

I see what you want, try going into the tunnel on Eiger and sticking a selective colour filter on, that should do the trick ;)

Thanks, will try this the next days.

To be clear: all the editing will be done in photoshop, I just need a relatively undetailied and clear background to get the shape right. So: no fences, no crash barriers, no trees, no people, etc and decent distressed light (maybe slight cloudy??)
 






I did these at the end of the tunnel at Eiger, where the windows stop. It may suit your requirements, I'd check it out.
