Default My first attempt at photoshop

I always wondered what my car would look like yellow. What do you think for a first try? I darkened the windows a bit also. It looks a bit more realistic if you click on the photo.

I'm not sure, I just picked the brightest yellow they had on the little paint pallet thingy. I may have went a bit overboard :crazy:

They're actually black. I guess the cloudy day made em look sorta gray and it definitly makes the yellow look brighter. :eek:

I have adobe photo deluxe (I guess its the cheap man's version of photoshop:D) I think the section I used was called "paint brush" or something to that effect.

Looks much better now. Now tell us all exactly the steps you took to do it. Ya know, a little lesson in Photoshop. I know there are a lot of people on here that are very good at it, but some of us could use some help with the basics. The funny thing is, I make a living doing audio visual work and also PowerPoint presentations. I have done a ton of PowerPoint stuff for my clients and to tell you the truth, the only thing I use PhotoShop for is resizing, cropping, and stuff like that. In some respects I find Paint Shop Pro easier to use in these situations. The PowerPoint stuff I do is all very professional and looks good, but I have no idea how to use PhotoShop to it's potential or even a fraction of it. I know there are many great features to it, but I just never had, nor took the time to lean them. Maybe we could start a section just for Photoshop tips, tricks, tutorials, etc. It might be pretty cool... :cheers:

I used Replace Color and tweaked the Hue and Saturation. But like any other program there can be several ways to accomplish the same task. Unfortunately it take experience to know which way works best. In my case, years and years of experience.

It's like working on a car, until you get the experience it only does so much good to have someone tell you how to do it.
