I'm really addicted to Photoshop now, I really can't stop chopping cars. Anyway, here's a chop of an MG TF.

Had to resize the original picture to 800X570 since the original file was 153kb.

What you do to that car! - Why has it been destaurated give it some colour!

I tried adjusting the colour balance, and it came of very weird... The paint didn't look real, so I really didnt know what went wrong there. Any ideas?

People say that it is a good idea to convert the car to greyscale attach your parts because it's easy then change the colour.

I usually jump in and change it straight away. - Converting to grey then to colour may cause some odd results. I would go into levels & contrast and brightness and play around. If all else fail go crazy with curves.

Hmm .. Thanks for that

BTW - Kind of a n00b question here, how do you get it in greyscale? Can you open the file in grayscale mode or is it somekind of filters....?

Hey! I just started PS a month back!!!

EDIT : I guess there was a reason they included the Help files.

You can convert the whole image to greyscale but that is rather pointless if you are asking me.

Instead of going Hue/Saturation look down the bottom for a Desaturate - CTRL + SHFT + U (I Think)

Then add the parts - it's easier because the image is black and white no tones of blue & red etc.


Have fun!
