November Photochop Competition

Gra-GT · Post by **Gra-GT** » Tue Nov 06, 2007 12:57 pm

Hi All

Sorry its a bit late this month, was having trouble finding a suitable picture.

In loving memory of a recently departed forum member (not litterally

) I have decided to go with this donor car and thought we could maybe give him a few ideas

The Rules:
All work must be your own, no stealing bits off other peoples chops
Only one entry per person
All entries must be reduced to 800 pixels wide. It helps to compare if all pictures are the same size and 800p is great for most screens.
All entries to be submitted by 11:59pm on Friday 30th November - Then I will put up the voting thread.

The Donor - Seat Altea - EDIT - due to excessive moaning from some members (see below) this is now the donor pic (you many need to clear your cache (ctrl+F5) if you can still see the old pic)

Hi Res Pic Here

Good Luck people

This is my 1st one that i'm giving a go and i'm having real trouble with it so far....and yes, the reflections on the floor were a bit soul-destroying when I noticed them after spending ages on the car!!

Sorry guys, I know its a cack pic for a donor car, but I searched for ages and couldn't find any decent ones that were a big enough resolution

I thought it would add an extra challenge, especially for experienced choppers like yourself Josh

.

And as far as the reflections on the floor go, I was just planning on changing the background

I don't mind the pic but its not that high a resolution and there's lots of noise it. Looks to me like a blown up shot to start with.

OK OK I give in. I had already looked on that site Josh but didn't fancy using the Altea Freetrack, but I will then

Not got time right now, but will edit the first post in the morning with one of those pics of Josh.

Charlie, sorry if you've already spent a fair bit of time on this already, blame these lot

, but hopefully this one will be easier for you anyway.

Again sorry folks, but I was trying to keep with a theme of people leaving the forum lately

PAH, call yourselves photoshoppers!

Right, the original post has now been edited to show the new picture. If you can still see the old picture you will need to clear your cache (CTRL+F5)

Can we have a picture with a smooth floor?.... Only joking, it looks perfect.

I think people didn't necessarily dislike the other picture just that some of the elements such as the reflections in the floor may have been a bit daunting. Especially to first time photoshop users.

This one is miles better though, so thanks.
