![]() Per Request: Here is a step by step method for how I do the "CARS" chops:
Step 1: Get a photo of your car,something medium resolution is good, if the photo is two low then the cars parts will look odd, if its a crazy detailed RAW file, the final product will look more fake. so heres the photo Im using, Its from the old thread compliments of 04ts: Step 2: Go to the cars wallpaper site http://www.filmtotaal.nl/module.php?...ew&wid=0317219 and find a car mouth and eyes that suit your picture, It dosent mater if the car is facing left or right, or the perspective angle, we can change all that later, for this chop im using Flo, Open this wallpaper at the highest resolution: Step 3: with your CARS wallpaper and using the freehand laso (newbies) or pen tool select a large area around the mouth. Make sure you include all the mouth corner lines. this selection dosent have to be perfect. Step 4: Drag the mouth to your car photograph and set the opacity to around 75% Step 5: If your mouth is backwards (as in this case) go to the edit menu>transform>flip horizontal. Now comes the hard part: using the transform functions (rotate, scale, and a lot of perspective) drag the mouth around so it covers the area of your front bumper. I find it very easy to use the foglight holes as a refferance, putting the edes of the mouth just a little bit over the inside crease (blue) just make sure you pay attention to the bottom and sides of the mouth (red) and that the perspective of the mouth fits the perspective of the car. Weekly Ads will allow you to be as savvy as you can get. step 6: go back to your wallpaper and using the plygonal laso select a general area around the eyes/windshield. again this selection dosent have to be perfect just make sure you're outside the windshield: Step 8: Drag the eyes over to your photo and set the opacity to 75%. Ok, as with the mouth you have to use the transform tools (rotate, scale, A lot of Perspective) to fit the windshield around your own windshield (pat attention to the perspectives! (blue lines) this will make the differance between something that looks realistic and something that looks stupid) Pay attention to the eyebrows, make sure the color goes all the way to the top corners (red) make sure your eyes Step 9: hide the visibility of the eyes layer (the little eyeball in the Layers Pallet) and very carefully using the magnetic laso or Pen tool select around the edge of your windshield. you want to select under your windshield wipers. Then go up to the menu Select>Feather and set that to 2 or 3 pixles (a little more if your using a big file) Step 10: Select the inverse (ctrl+shift+I) and without deselecting anything, click on your CARS eyes, make it visible again (the little eyeball) and press delete. this should trim around the edge and make the eyeballs fit your windshield, Now you can play with the opacity, to preserve the reflections in the windshield I think about 85% is good.

![]() Step 11: Going back to the mouth, make sure you have the brush pallet open (Press F5) and select the ereaser tool. pick a fuzzy brush (see below) thats about 10% the size of the mouth, start ereasing around your mouth to remove all hard edges, make sure you dont erease any of the actual mouth.
Step 12: Set the opacity of the mouth back up to 100% and using progresively smaller fuzzy brushes erease the rest of the color that covers the fog lights, grill, under the bumper, headlights. basicly everywhere that isnt solid paint (Red) ![]() Step 13: Go to Image>Adjustments>hue and saturation and change the color of the mouth to the color of your car, If you have a black white or silver car dont just change the saturation to zero! there are about a million reflected colors in your paint, look at whats most domminant (usualy a light blue) and keep a little of this color in your mouth. Step 14: youll notice that you can still see some of the grill under the mouth, the best way I've found for getting rid of this is tedious. going back to your car photo and using the healing and clone stamp tools. If you arent comfortable with these then using another fuzzy brush and painting in some of the color of your car over the hole will also work this takes a pretty long time, I usualy try to clone the piece of the bumber between the fog lights and grill and use vertical strokes to cover the middle. heres an in process shot: Step 15: Go back up to the eyes and make a general selection around the eyeballs, then feather it out (like before) about 5 pixles, Then select the inverese again (ctrl+shift+I) Step 16: Do the same color adjustments as on the mouth and then you should be done! ![]() There is plenty more to add, you can use the wheels or just about any aspect off the cars wallpapers, Play with it! then post what you make!

![]() if you're worried you'll delete or erase something important, i'd suggest using a layer mask on the mouth and eye layers, that way you can get them 'trimmed' without actually losing it forever if you trim too much. search the web for how to do that if you don't already

![]() some cars are easier to do than others... the color in the picture has a lot to do with it. the less reflections in the paint, the better it will look.
my best: http://img56.imageshack.us/img56/2222/typercars1zv1.jpg my worst: http://img243.imageshack.us/img243/671/pastecw3.jpg it all depends on the original picture you go off of. soontobe- i think this thread would be better if there are no requests. please make requests in the request Cars thread, leave this thread for finished products, tutorials, and tips. |
