big photoshop favor request

[Orgasmatron]

i got a photoshop request for anyone willing to do it, it would mean a lot

i was wondering if you could take this



crop out the old mirrors, and add these



positioned above the tires on the hood (think foreign cars)


doesnt have to be a great job i just want to get the idea

if you could also change the color of the car to white thatd be awesome!!


i know the angles arent exactly perfect or anything like that

thanks!!

I would consider doing this with GIMP if you could give me a less blurry version of the mirrors you want. I'd also have to know how the heck to crop out the original mirrors without leaving a white space in their place (i.e. remove them as if they were on a separate layer).

But you said it doesn't have to be a perfect job, so I guess I could do it. Give me a less blurry picture (or if you think this one's good enough, say so), and I'll see what I can do. Changing the car's colour will be an interesting experiment.

You do that kinda like this
Got other stuff to do, though, and didn't quite get what is wanted with those other things anyways! Plus I don't really have an idea how to photoshops.

Holy moly that's nice, I'll have to look into how that's done later (although I'm assuming that it's just stretching the image). I'll use that as a start and add on the mirrors (and try recolouring) tomorrow if nobody else does it by then.

[Orgasmatron]

yeah it really doesn't have to be perfect the current pictures of the mirrors are fine

and previous you know the placement of some japanese or other foreign car mirrors, how they're placed further towards the front of the car? i mean like that

I just used a small brush (1 to 3 px) and painted over the mirrors, picking colors from the surrounding area. For the huge missing part of the window, I also used the clone tool (the stamp icon in GIMP/Photoshops) to add the mirrored tree/bush. If you look closely, you'll see that it is really smudgy due to the use of the brush, but it is nothing that pops out so it's fine!

I can't say I've ever seen something like that - we don't have lots of foreign cars here and I'm not paying attention anyways. I did work in the automotive supply industry before, but all I worked with were GM/Opel Epsilon interior lights!

Sorry, puggsoy, but once I started I couldn't stop so I made this
I'd still like to see what you would've done

[Orgasmatron]

haha thanks, the sides look chrome

im definitely gonna wind up painting it white

[Vipershark]

JDM New Yorker?

Doesn't that make the mirrors way harder to see out of, though?

[Orgasmatron]

what does jdm mean? and im not gonna put them quite as far up front as in previous' pic, a little closer up they should be fine

No problem, I've coincidentally been unusually tight on time anyway so I wouldn't have gotten it done for ages. I'll give it a go when I can though, see how I do.

Here's my attempt.



I'm not sure if this is what you meant with the mirrors, I don't really know anything about cars.

Used Paint Shop Pro 9 and Milkshape 3D.
