This makes me think twice before asking you for photoshop work so you don't have to go through this.

haha, its not as painful as it seems Jordan.

MackMan · 10-16-2012, 05:52 PM

Awesome man. Taught me some new tricks

I never use the pen tool but everyone talks about it, might try that out next time I'm messing around. I also wish I had a mouse hooked up to my computer, I just use my trackpad

...

Nice work as always. I need to get CS6 for my Mac, it looks fancy I'm still on CS3 haha.

SUKXOST · 10-16-2012, 06:10 PM

Haha definitely will start using the pen tool when I do renders, looks easier then what I do.

austinjames · 10-16-2012, 07:23 PM

like ive always said man, you have some mad photoshop skills, you should really look into charging people for the time you put into these, and if not pick up from freelance photoshop work on craigslist. I was making a over 2 grand a month when i was back in college just doing BS photoshop busy work from companies posting on craigslist. Anything from touching up photos, to renderings. And I was maybe putting in 6 hours a week. Hell if I wasnt so busy now at my advertising agency, id be doing as much freelance work as I possibly could.

indeed it is boring to watch but it is interesting if you're into the graphic stuff

SSdude · 10-17-2012, 06:48 AM

Awesome. Very enlightening . I'm hoping its as easy as you make it look though.

Wantconvertible · 10-17-2012, 07:23 AM

Cool

ForgedReality · 10-17-2012, 09:41 AM

Is there a reason you convert the path to a selection? Why not just use a vector mask and turn the whole layer into a smart object from there? That way, you can always alter the mask later, and every time you distort/resize/transform the layer, you aren't further degrading it since the smart object always refers to the original, not a scaled/transformed version. There's way more flexibility there.

You could even make the reflection layer based on the same smart object, so that when you change one, the other changes as well. For example if you were to paint on a decal or change the selection of the original, it would be "reflected" in the reflection.

Time savers.

IOM Black Diamond · 10-17-2012, 02:01 PM

WOW great vid. Thanks for the info

Looks good! you pretty much did all the stuff ive mentioned. Just a few things that you might want to consider. adding in some glows for the lights/ beams of light. maybe adding some color to the background (optional of course) color in the background can change a picture dramatically. And also darken the bottom corners slightly not a lot just a little. It will draw attention to the car more. just my personal opinion. You have the file on hand so try a few things out. Looks great though. Id give it an A+
