the background is sweet

it looks too fake. when i was doing graphic design my college prof's always said that being suttell rather then going crazy with blending options was always better.

nice mx3 tho.

nice mx3 tho.

well it was my first go but if you'd like to i'd like to see it done right

I don't think there is a right or wrong, it depends on the effect your after. I think it looks pretty cool.

I think the reasons it looks fake are:
-over saturated colour relative to the background
-the colour has the effect of pronouncing the noise in the photo

But this isn't photoshop.com/forum! I think the car will look great I love seeing mxs getting treated to new paint

yeah man try messing around with curves. go to your tool bar at the top image > adjustments > curves. underneath the adjustments tap this is alot you can do to change the image.

also check out http://www.pslover.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; theres lots of good tutorials in there man. i havent busted out the photoshop in FOREVER, i should go finish my college for that and do it for the rest of my life.

now that i think about it, it probably is the best job to have being the stoner i am

[RS_OBD'oh_2]

the original is much better. keep working on it tho.

nice original pic of your car
looks good like that!

i would suggest doing a photoshop of your car in better lighting
the pic u started off with isnt a good one in terms of lighting for a colour swap
jus picture this, if u did actually paint u car that blueish colour n took a pic of it in that exact same position and lighting
the colour wouldnt look the same..obviously it would look darker and maybe a slightly diff hue
so u simply cant photoshop your colour on to a car in the shade n expect it to look real
try this, since your car is grey take a pic in good lighting
wen u have it in photoshop copy the layer and lighten it slightly n maybe even desaturate to get rid of any colours reflecting off on to it
then replace the colour using your techniques ( dont be afraid if u mess wit the background... its the cars body ur focusing on) but remember not to over do it
then slowly crop the background out
now u can play around with the hue, saturation n lighting on that layer to get the colour u want n it will only change the car n not the background
