Another Boring Weekend

Hey there all....It's been a really boring weekend so i decided to mess around with Photoshop and here is the result :

I combined these 2 pictures using the Photoshop :

Step 1. I crop the black colored Lamborghini using Magic Wand Tool, Lasso Tool and the Eraser Tool.

Step 2. Copy the crop layer into the other layer and resize it using free transform (Ctrl + T) to make adjustment to the picture. (add perspective etc)

Step 3. Then, use the Dodge Tool (brighten) and Burn Tool (darken) on the black Lamborghini to make it much more realistic.

Step 4. And then I make another layer of the background image and erase apart of it using Eraser Tool so that I can put the black Lamborghini at the further back.

Step 5. And to make the shadow for the black Lamborghini, I simply copy the layer of black Lamborghini and set the lightness to 0 (Image>Adjustment>Hue/Saturation)

Step 6. Then, I add Gaussian Blur to the shadow layer. After that, I copied the rear wheel into another layer using the Lasso Tool and add the Radial Blur effect on it as if its actually moving.

And there you go, another work done!! ^_^

Running Some Test

Wow, there's a lot of different functions in CS4, almost lost in it hahah XD
Well, I've managed to done simple things on the picture given by Madam Lydia....
Edit here and there, just the simple steps....On the left hand side is the original picture and on the right hand side is the edited....

Original picture

Edited picture

Here are the simple steps I did to edit the picture :

Step 1. Open using Photoshop and create an ellipse using the Ellipse Tool, starting from the center of the front light of the car and set the color to yellow. Make sure to hold on the Shift and Alt key to make a perfect circle.

Step 2. Then, rasterize the new layer added, which is the ellipse, by right-clicking on it and click Rasterize Layer so that it can be edited.

Step 3. After that, select on Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur to make the light much more realistic.

Step 4. Use the ellipse selection tool on the Elliptical Marquee Tool and make a circle shape around the the front light. After that, go to Select > Inverse on the menu bar to select everything other than the lights.

Step 5. Then, go to Image > Adjustments > Curves and play with the graph to have the night effect or to darken the picture.

Step 6. Add a rectangular shape using the Rectangle Tool on the Tool Bar and use the Free Transformation (Ctrl + T) to adjust the shape as if it's a real light.

Step 7. The final step is to add the Gaussian Blur effect again on the rectangle shape to make the lights shine towards the front.

  And volla, my first artwork using Photoshop after many many years hahaha! ^_^

Decision decision decision!!

For my e-Wallpaper theme, I've decided to make the Hari Raya festival since I love raya so much!! (I think every muslim does hahah!)...
We were given the task and use the Photoshop application to do so...
I'm not that worried because this is not my first time using Adobe Photoshop application but the last time I used this application was the Macromedia Photoshop 10 (ngeeeee ages ago, even the CS versions haven't release yet!! 0.o)....hopefully it is still the same as the last time....
Well, I guess it's time to explore this new gadget (Adobe Photoshop CS4)..I'll post my work soon! Cheers! ^_^
