[Floydsbuick]

You'd have to be into the big cars to appreciate this, but I wanted to see what a two door post LeSabre woulda looked like. Kinda like Chevy having the Biscayne.

[Chris Lott]

If buick had made a formal top GS like Olds did with the cutlass...

[Chris Lott]

The original...

[Floydsbuick]

Chris,

Kinda scary how correct that looks!!!!

[Chris Lott]

I was surprised how well it came out to. I almost like it...:eek2:

[BuickStreet]

Of course, the mandatory lowering must also be performed. Clean the pavement a little and add some blue sky...

[Smartin]

Looks like Sweesy's car:jd:

[BuickStreet]

As I was lowering the body down I was thinking the exact same thing...lol

[Smartin]

Man this sucks, but here goes....

[BuickStreet]

Good enough to make me smile...lol

This has nothing to due with paintshop but,
from the looks of your 66 Electra in your avatar,
it appears that the rear tires on that baby are
oversized.
It that 66 tubbed?:confused:
Just curious.
Thanks,
Tom

[Mike Atwood]

Blue.................

[OLDS442GM]

Chris, when are ya workin on my car :laugh: . I see the sea mist green bug is still biting ya :laugh: . School is almost over, and I will be back to goin the gang soon :TU:

[BuickStreet]

Tom, the Avatar is photoshop trickery. I like to play tricks with cars like widening the tyres, changing the colour (aussie spelling), lowering and 'working' the background. It's a great way to spend a couple of (dozen) hours.

[65Lesabre]

Bill,

I have got to admit, that electra looks
pretty bling-bling with those wide weenies.:Brow:
Nice art work.

Yeah, well as you know I've always been the green advocate, and so I figured I'd better walk the walk too. So here I am:Brow: Just got it running again yesterday, I really like this Seamist Green...:TU:

[fitbmx]

[BuickStreet]

Haha...good one :TU:

[Damian Kolosik]

hahaha thats cool i wish i had a good pix of my wagon kinda curious what it would look like dropped to the ground and with a blower popin through the hood?

[Smartin]

Get some pics of that car Damian! This one was courtesy of Bill S.


I'm sure one of us would be willing to play some photoshop magic with your car:Brow:

[Dana/Beth Andrews]

I wonder if someone could work there photoshop magic on this one? :Brow:
I'm still no good at it.
Please & Thank You :TU: :beer :TU:

Beth

[Smartin]

Notice the drag wheels hanging in the trees:laugh:

This is a tough one, as it sits at an angle and is a little hard to make the tires look right....

[recluse_71]

[recluse_71]

[Marvin's65]

How did you guys learn how to play with PhotoShop?
what would be the easiesnt way to learn with software, i have it at home but i try playing with it last night but..no luck

[Smartin]

the easiest way to learn is to lock yourself in the dorm room and just play for hours and hours and hours and hours.


If you don't have a dorm room to lock yourself in, find a dark cold room to emulate it:laugh:

[recluse_71]

I opted to pay $200 for a photoshop course at the local vo-tech. Didnt cover everything on photoshop, but all the basics and some of the advanced stuff. I didnt have the patience for the "lock yourself in" method, and started see'ing shadow people after like 4 hours.
Easy course though. Its funny how something seems so complicated but once you start learning it, its like "wow why didnt i figure that out at home"

[DangerBoy]

heres a 67 Riv i played with for an art project while mine was in the shop. Stupid camshaft...

[Marvin's65]

I have photoshop 7.1
How can i add more color to a pic through photoshop? for example if i want to make a dark color look darker (black)
can somebody give me a crash course? is it pretty simple?
thank's

marvinmanzano@sbcglobal.net

[Smartin]

There is a tool on the toolbar that is called the "Burn Tool".

Use that to darken areas you want. You can also increase the contrast by going to the "Image" menu, then "Adjustments". You will then click on "Brightness and Contrast".

You may also opt to select specific areas you want to adjust the contrast on....if you need to darken just one spot.

[Marvin's65]

I'll try that tonight

thanks
:TU:

[Damian Kolosik]

illm try to find some good pix of my car but i think my freind has some that are at a good angle for it cause he was the owner of it before me. haha now hes kickin himself for sellin it...

[Marvin's65]

can somebody help me change the color of my car?
i cant figure this thing out if my life depended on it...

how about black? blue?

[Clint Drabek]

Lee you had it on the nose with painshop! :laugh: Clint

:grin:

[65WILDKAT]

I was wondering if someone could help me ? I want to see what my car would look like if it was lowered 2" and Painted Black. I have tried to "play" with Photoshop and All I do is mess it up. I am building this car for my Son who is in the Marines and is in Afghanistan and also was in the War in Iraq where he won a the Medal of Valor so this is my Gift to him for serving Our Country and also making me a VERY PROUD FATHER!

Thanks for your time and effort

[my3buicks]

Wow, Great Dad!!! Great Son!!!!!!!!!!:TU:

[65WILDKAT]

I Forgot to say this is not my car it is a Picture I found on the web that looks just like it........The car is in great shape (just a small rust spot in the trunk) Same color and all. only difference is the wheels. They are American Racing Wheels. That I am not really fond of but they look okay. I just wanted to let everyone know in case the person who owns the car sees it and freaks out!

Once agin Thank you to any one who can help me

[JOE RIV 1]

please someone make up a 71 or 72 pro street riv need to make a poster for the bar............. joe:beer

[Buick Power]

Does anyone use the 3-D program BRYCE? It's an awesome program with endless options. I don't have any car pics. But here is one for a band. The background and tree are generated in Bryce. The silhouettes were made in Corel Photopaint and imported into Bryce, then rendered. Then I took the rendering into Photopaint and added the faces (blending them in). The logo had an embossing effect added to polish it up then was imported onto the pic. What I did with Bryce is just about 1% of what you can do with the program.

here is the link
http://www.andalusha.com/photos.htm

P.S. the reason I did the link is because of an issue I have with my windows explorer. It can't handle going from one folder to another with out crashing (very frustrating). I have windows XP, does anyone have any insight on this?

Dave

[Floydsbuick]

How about a chop? I hope your kid comes back OK. Good choice of car for him.

[65WILDKAT]

Thanks Floyd......I never thought of that.......It Looks cool! How did you do that? I really wish I knew how to work my Photoshop.....I can wrench a car but I can't figure this puter stuff out!!!! That is the reason I like the pre 70's cars cause they did not need a computer to run them!
Chopped and Lowered he would love that!

I Hope that he comes back safe also! Things are heating up over there and Mr Bush wants to get relected so I think we all will be hearing alot more coming out of Afganistan real soon! His Camp had a rocket attack a few days ago no one was hurt. So Everyone PLEASE keep all of our Men and Women in the military your prayers no matter where they are!

Thanks again Floyd!

[Floydsbuick]

I don't have photoshop. I just use paintshop. The eyedropper in the toolbar will pick up background colors, thus allowing good blends. That pic only took five minutes to do. Lotsa fun! I can't lower a car though. Thats were photoshop comes in. For me to lower a car I'd have to erase and redraw the wheels. Again, I hope your kids OK. Don't let the media get you down. The majority of the arabs our glad when we help. I am a gulf war vet.

[70gsrick]

I'm not to good at this but here goes..

[Mentalkase]

Here is my first attempt.I know it is not a buick,but at least it ain't no Chevy.Cannot figure out how to do the background thing yet.Had a few hours of fun learning this though.

[Ergot]

Heres the highly sought after 1974 Buick El Century.

Thanks Rob

[19gn87]

Hey Daqn,

I gave lowering a shot in Paint Shop...

[Floydsbuick]

I couldn't resist:grin:

[Ergot]

Floydsbuick said:I couldn't resist:grin:

Disturbingly cool! :TU:

[SirBaz]

OK here's my effort....BEFORE!

[SirBaz]

and AFTER!..............:grin:

[65WILDKAT]

SirBaz,
I have to say that the car captures the true era and the "RoCk & RoLL theme,
That is really sweet looking..........I always dug those big 50's Buicks! :bglasses:
ON My scale of 1 to five I have to give it...:TU: :TU: :TU: :TU: :TU: I Have say that I am stingy in my ratings............But That look shoots :blast: them down!

[72custom]

Early in this rather artistic thread, Chris Lott demoed his Skylark with a "Cutlass" top...I've got a 72 Sky-Custom, with that kind of top on it...what give? Anybody??

[Dana/Beth Andrews]

You have the highly desireable "Halo" roof.
I've allways like the looks of those.
Yours is very nice.

That would look BITCHIN on my GN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Leviathan]

Something a little different for you...

Maybe one of the experts here could do a chop top Wagon for me?

[Leviathan]

Shaved the bumpers... best i could do with just paint & photoeditor...

[19gn87]

Not that radical, but......

[19gn87]

Another thought.....

[19gn87]

Last one (I promise...)

[Mike Atwood]

Wheelie popper! :)

[Ergot]
