Need Photoshop Help

Post by MotoAce51 »

Can someone take this pic and tint the grille with red? I am thinking more of a translucent so you can still see tha aluminum part of it. Im not the best painter so it may end up solid. I just want to see what I think before I make a decision.

EDIT: 4 tries. First 50% was way too pink. 50% but more layers was still quite pink. Another try at about 85% was too opaque. I finally tried a fast 75% red transparent tint on the grille area of both your pics. This one is the best that still shows some of the reflective qualities of the grille through the color.Did you know that for a while, Pontiac offered a red grille insert for 05-08 Vibes?

I think it looks pretty darn sweet That, plus maybe a red pinstripe around your wheels? Oh yeah!

Finally found the Vibe red grille insert pic I knew I had somewhere from 2007. I think it is a screen capture from the Pontiac web site where you could configure a Vibe with various options.
