Great job! It wasnt that hard now was it?

 

Now keep going. I took the sig you made and did this

i think your focusing to much on the car cutouts.. you dont always have to cut it out.

A cool blur effect I use is I duplicate the layer.. and blur the original with Filter>Blur>Gausian Blur @ about 1.5. Then I mess with the blending on the top layer.

 

Here is one I made for a friend, thought I would share. This was my first one I have made. I have had all the software, but tring to figure out how to use it all is a pain.

I like the car to stick out more, plus you get better details. It takes me no time to do it. I don't always cut the car out though.

And JPack thats good, maybe you should try to learn again

both of your cars look a little smushed lol. Thats ones good to. You could blur the bottom to get rid of the rough edge.

 

Jim, when your resizing a layer or selection, hold the shift button and it will keep itself proportioned correctly

 

that's nice man.

 

ok so i'm here where i cut out the picture and pasted it in the sig area...how do i get rid of all the stuff around my car?

#ad

 

eraser tool or more of the polygonal lasso tool. you could also smudge out and use a nice blending effect.

 

or use the history brush, with a soft edge and low opacity

 

IMO, the history brush is a poor technique to use on anything

 

ok the eraser tool i haven't used and don't know how to. the history brush makes absolutely no sense to me and so far the smudge tool has been what's helped me the most. neenjah are you saying using the smudge tools helps create a nice blending affect or is there something else to help make the picture blend nicer?

 

i think i'm getting a bit better i'm not too sure tho. altho ethan, i would like to know how you made that sig of your with the eclipses and such.

your getting better . But your still boring .

Ill make the eclipse tutorial, but it may take me a while

Some things are hard to remake, and my sig is one of them. But those are the basics. The only thing left is for me to send you your bill ...........

 

you dont need to save and make a new canvas.. you can duplicate layers within the current image workspace and you can also merge layers if needed

 

Yeah I never have used that lol, I never really knew about it. I've pretty much taught myself and thats how I learned (save and open). Anyway thats good to know.

See I'm still learning knew stuff.............. I think everyone is still learning this program.
