Photoshop request thread

Thanks Alot!!!

 

Good job man, looks nice.

Look Like this:
Leave the color...

 

Do you have a picture with a similar angle on the front bumper as yours (more downward view)? The angle is wrong to copy it from that truck to yours.

 

This is about as close as I could get it with that source picture.

 

can i get any help with something along the lines of a three inch lift and close to twenty inch wheels wrapped in thirty three's?

this is awesome man!! Thank you.

 

Just a guestimate, it's hard to be precise since it has to be relative to the picture:
Before


After

I've got some information in this post that doesn't necessarily pertain to you. I thought I'd include it just to be complete for anyone else who reads it.

The best angle is one which matches the source photo you're trying to grab accessories from.

The source picture:


Your truck (the target picture):


Final picture:

The first target picture you submitted is closer (the angle it's parked at is similar to the source picture) but it would be better if the perspective was similar to the source we're trying to pull accessories from (the source is a squatting person's view whereas yours is more of a bird's eye view). Notice how your target picture has a downward view whereas the source picture has an upward view. On yours, you can see the driver's side, the driver's side mirror, the top of the hood, inside the bed, and the driver's side headlight. On the accessorized source truck, you can't see any of those things. As a result, when pasting the accessories on yours, anything that can't be seen would has to be made up since those peices are missing from the accessory source picture).

If the target and source pictures are similar in perspective, then it's just a matter of cutting what you want out of the source and pasting over the target. Sizing isn't a big deal as they can usually be stretched but you'd want your source picture to be the most detailed if you had a choice. It's easier to go from a large high resolution source image to a small or low res target image than it is the other way around (because it can look blocky and distorted when you stretch or zoom a lower res image to fit a high res target). Your pictures were all sized well.

So for example, this would be a bad source picture because it's way too small:

If I were to zoom into it, the details of the little picture would be lost. Also sizing up any accessory from this truck would look terrible because there isn't that much digital information in the image. However, if this were a picture that I'm putting accessories on, it wouldn't matter as much as I can always shrink a more detailed accessory down to the smaller image (though it's small size would make it difficult to see the effects of the added accessories). The best case is a huge detailed source picture and a moderate to equally sized picture of your own truck.

Wheels (not tires) are more forgiving since they're round and skewing them doesn't look as odd. Plus, you're usually only going to cut the surface part of the wheel (only the part that would show). The best shot for a wheel would be a straight-on side shot. However, the closer the perspective is to the target's wheels, the more natural it will look. For example, on the accessorized target truck that I made for you, you can see the rear wheel looks a little off (like you received a bad alignment). That's mostly due to perspective but it isn't as obvious as trying to peice the bumper on. The bumper has to be done in little peices since it's a complex shape and then missing details have to be created.
For example, this picture was easy (about 2 minutes) but I had to search for a wheel picture that was viewable from the side (that's why I asked what wheel type it was):


For tires, you'd want something that shows a similar amount of tread. If I only have a side shot, I won't necessarily be able to create a tread pattern (since I can't see it).

 

not bad it looks pretty convincing. i think i like it.
