looks good, maybe fiddle with the contrast/brightness setting to get it looking more realistic.

Chris, can you move this to the appropriate thread?

Adding Rotors & Calipers to stock rim or rim chop

Im making another tutorial!! This will come in handy for rim choppers!

 

Im having trouble putting it on here.

 

I am trying to figure out the problem myself.....it works then it doesn't work....i will fix.....

 

Alright well I found the system I setup on that server (linux) wasn't compatable So I am converting over to a windows based server and there will be a new username/password that I will send you.

 

Hmm, quite an interesting thread idea Chris (haha, we gotta start usin' last names here). I could do the color change to white tutorial I suppose.

 

Here is the tutorial for turning anything white:

Take the original picture:
#ad


Then select the are to be colored white, once selected, Ctrl+C, then Ctrl+V and you will have a new layer:
#ad


Then Shift+Ctrl+U (Desaturate):
#ad


Once you have desaturated the selected area, go to Image>Adjustments>Variations, this window will pop up:
#ad


When that window pops up, click "Lighter" (Look to the right) until you get close to the white color. For this car, it took only 2-3 clicks. Darker images will require more clicks, and lighter images will require less clicks. Then click "Ok." Once you have done this, the selection will now be white. Go to Image>Adjustments>Brightness/Contrast and adjust the brightness and contrast until you get an image that looks realistic.

The final step is to select and erase all areas that have lights, logos, vents, etc. In this case, I darkened the vents and logos to make them match the color of the car. Also, I desaturated the color in the light since it did not look right it's original color:
#ad


The final product, with more time and effort the picture will look better:
#ad


Also, there are certain colors and lighting that will make the object harder to turn white. Sometimes you have to do half the car at a time to get it right due to certain lighting.

 

looks good!

 

nice tutorial Chris!

 

Wow i totally forgot about this thread!

 

when you are done with this tutorial to give a more realistic look you can go up to Filter > Render > Lens flare

Then just play around with the settings to give it that little ray of light

 

I love how that just makes the image come to life!
