New Sig


Recommended Posts

adobe photoshop elements but any simple photo editing software will give you something decent if you are inventive.

 

the easiest way to do it is layering images. Tbh i have done it on powerpoint before combined with MS paint and print screen as you can layer them with PP and manipulate each piece with paint then create a new merged image with print screen. it doesnt look great though due to the resolution etc

 

find all the elements of the image you want to combine colours shapes etc. then get them all together like a collage and start fitting them together like a jigsaw. you can alter some of them to match others, like changing colours to match and air brushing some shapes together. Like most deisgn its best to come at it with a plan and a palette of colours. so in this case chris said he wanted black and dark red, the white of the car provided the highlight.

 

Throw it together over an hour or so and your done.

 

one of the tricky bits i find with the cars is the underneath, wheels etc. as normally in photos they are dark so its nealry impossible to cut the line and make it look good. so the best bet is to find pictures that match. If the car was taken on gravel then find a gravel picture and blend them. if it was taken with lots of shadows sit it in a dark area. that saves you alot of effort with the lower half of the car.

Cheers for that husky. Is Photoshop easy to use? For a noob like me? Lol

yeah should be, tbh all the photo editing packages are very similar so when you know how to use one you know how to use them all. its just practice and fiddling about, trying all the buttons. the big thing is patience, it take ages.

i dont expect you to use it mate just thought it would be funny for him not to be so bloody chirpy :lol:

 

On the contrary mate, I'll be using that as soon as I get back to my laptop! :) I love it!! Fair play dude, awesome job! Thank you!

 

I didn't even think about using elements for making a sig! I'm a pretty keen photographer and I've got a few Photoshop programs and elements is definatly my favourite! Very easy and powerful. I use aperture 2 for storing all my photos and raw editing. Pretty good but a little fiddly.

 

Thanks again mate! I owe you one! :)
