*** LOL's Photoshopped Polo Mk5 6N2 ***

lolhoward · Post by **lolhoward** » Thu Jul 10, 2008 3:11 pm

I'm a beginner to photoshop but these are my first 2 photo's I edited of my Mk5 Polo. I just wondered what other prople thought of them. All i've done is lower them, tint the windows, debadge, smooth out the indicators and petrol cap and abviously the alloys. Also the RS6 Wing mirror. Also attached a picture of my old Type R which was my first photoshop project, which I added the carbon fibre, smoothed indicator and door handles, lowered, tinted and darkened the alloys.

I'm currently working on my car so once if finished the little touches i'll be doing more photoshopping.

Please let us know what you think.

Oh, weird, there is a car round bexleyheath the same as yours with 17" chromes on like your sig', and is very low! Has tinted lexus lights too. Will have to keep my eyes peeled.

Good photoshopping by the way

Nice work mate, great smoothing skill and fair proportions! I'd look at bledning the alloys in light and contrast wise now, so they look like they are from the same picture

Yeah I agree, especially in the second picture. Maybe should have added some noise. Always learning though.

Heres another quick one I did. Just Smoothed out the front of the car & debadged. Not too fond of the bumper as not perfect but getting there. If anybody has any tips please share

Here's another one but not modded the car just tried to make it look like its in motion, 1st try at this but quite pleased with the results.

In terms of a picture it's nice. but it doesn't work in terms of creating the illusion of motion. For background blur doesn't follow the direction of the car.

The car is heading towards you, whilst the motion lines pass directly behind it. Get them in the same direction and it'll be a good 'n

Your bang on. I did blur in direction of the horizon.

Well it could be a rear wheel drive Polo powersliding or doing a donut

I'll try again but blur in a better direction. Thanks for tips mate
