I think this is the right place for this...

I was wondering if anyone could take a picture of my car and use photoshop or something to make the entire front black (ie fenders, bumper, hood) and keep the rest white? Thanks!


Maybe using this pic: Celica
Or
This: Celica

Sweet, thanks! It may be looking like that. Mmmm carbon fiber, it's unhealthy, the obsession with it I have.

A quick question for "Racer J" how do you do that??? I dont mess with photoshop much and couldnt for the life of me figure out how to-
a) Recolour the white but keep the reflections etc in the paint.
b) pick just the wings / bonnet for editing????

sorry if thats a dumb question.

Use the Polygonal Lasso Tool to "carefully" select the area of the image that you want. Then copy the selection onto a new layer. Once you've done that, use the colour balance tool in Image -> Adjustments menu. Knock all the colours down to the left of the scale making sure "preserve luminosity" is unchecked, That's it, a white car turned black! (or any other colour you want)

You have to experiment with it to get exactly what you're after.
