if you don't mind nascar, how do you do your color changes? I'm curious what method you use.btw - hopefully I'll have something to show tonight (I can't let nascar have all the glory )

ill have to go home and find what i used its long to explain but to summit up i select the objcet i want colored, create a hue/ saturation layer, move saturation to -100, create a new layer fill it with the color you want, set it to multiply, and add a mask of the obect(s) you want colored then duplicate it and then set that newer layer to screen, then you go to image- apply image TO THE MASK and your done. but ill post what i use wen i get home it explains it alot better than i can.

Man those look awesome, I wonder if the back windows could just be darkened completely to eliminate the tree or whatever that is.

ANO i think i do im going to try a couple of things first.Rave, yea that shouldnt be a problem

dude, that is way too complicated! there are easier ways!for example, i created this one in literally about a minute by just using:

If you did you would be drunkenmaxx - world's fastest photochopper thanks for the tip, I'll try that next re-color I do.

my least favorite thing about chopping is taking the time to create a clean selection, i just don't have the patience!

NascarXprt · Post by **NascarXprt** » Wed Aug 09, 2006 5:19 am

this is the method i have been using.

that is a wee bit complicated but if you're used to doing it and it obviously produces good results

NascarXprt · Post by **NascarXprt** » Wed Aug 09, 2006 6:17 am

it has become habit to me when i want to change a color or something.

NascarXprt · Post by **NascarXprt** » Wed Aug 09, 2006 6:19 am

and Mike i have already started that i hvae gotten 03, 04, and 05 model year colors.

SuperSpeedWagon · Post by **SuperSpeedWagon** » Wed Aug 09, 2006 9:24 am

yeah i cant wait to see all of them and then to see what Cole has in mind for the world genvibe wallpaper hopefully it comes out pretty sweet

GrayFox · Post by **GrayFox** » Wed Aug 09, 2006 12:58 pm

Well, it's not a wallpaper... yet. But it will be! I decided to go with the GT-R like nascar but I can't find a good full body pic (high angle 3/4 shot perferably) of the GT-R. I found one that's a decent size but it's crap Any way this will be incorporated in the WP at the top or bottom with a cutout below/above it. still a WIP. btw- this is scaled down to 800 by something. Final will be, as usual, 1600x1200I wan't to finish it but I've stayed in front of this computer too long today. good night.

that looks sweeet!good work.

Very nice!

GrayFox · Post by **GrayFox** » Wed Aug 09, 2006 10:28 pm

Is that kindof what you had in mind Mrizzle?

Mrizzle05 · Post by **Mrizzle05** » Wed Aug 09, 2006 11:34 pm

well thats one way... that one would look awesome for single cars like say mine or jasons, or cole... you know.But what about putting pics of lots of cars like say 10 pics of different vibes and seeing how that would look.//////// = different vibes with a genvibe banner on top?

GrayFox · Post by **GrayFox** » Wed Aug 09, 2006 11:53 pm

That would be cool... gives me some more ideas. The most annoying thing about all this is finding good source pics. But croping the picture for a close up like that helps. I'll try and work on this some more today/tonight.

NascarXprt · Post by **NascarXprt** » Thu Aug 10, 2006 12:34 am

very nice banner ANO and im still working on the global GV. but yea it was very hard for me to find any good close shots of the GT-R logo on the vibe so i just made my own. as for pics you did use google right? they do have some decent pics but the good pics are here. i wonder if anybody form the super meet last year has any good plain shots of the GT-R???ill post the colors i have now i need a full color chart of the 03 colors esp. the Envy, and 06 and the new Wave color.that way i can finish the full color line up then i can work on custom paint like i did on Mikes .i only have two custom color VIbes a green and the Yellow Preveiously posted for 4X4.and ANO Quote, originally posted by ANO_Vibe Â»Vibe + Skittles =Vittles, "Drive The Rainbow" brought to you by NascarXprt (removed)

GrayFox · Post by **GrayFox** » Thu Aug 10, 2006 12:52 am

Thanks on the banner.The GT-R pics here on genvibe are all good pics, but it's just not what I'm looking for. All I can find on google is small thumbnails and such. the decent sized one I was talking about was from customcarz.com or something but the car had spots from all the overhead lights at the show. I thought about just using one of the shots of the GT-R with the hood up and photoshoping it so the hood would be down. I don't really know, I might try the Vibe GXP concept but I think there are even less pics of it. I think I'll hold off on that a while. I'm gathering pics of around 10 vibes from here to make my rendition of what Mrizzle said above. I'm looking forward to your color pallete. And about that wave color, does anyone know what it looks like?If we keep this up maybe we could be Pontiacs new brouchure makers

hey man where did you find the pics of the gtr logo? i may be able to cook you up something nice and clean in illustrator.

That's the side emblem. There's another one on the hatch that just says GT-R.I'd appreciate a nice pic. Start cookin' drunkenchef!hehe... that could be the newest craze on the Food Channel"Drunken Chef America"

GrayFox · Post by **GrayFox** » Thu Aug 10, 2006 1:56 am

ok, nascar (cole, right?) you'll have to excuse my idiocy but I thought you were making that GT-R WP in all the available colors. I like the idea of the pallete but what use is it? Is it a guideline for doing re-colors? Sorry if I missed something

NascarXprt · Post by **NascarXprt** » Thu Aug 10, 2006 2:16 am

yes ANO that is for recreating the colors of the Vibes. but i am also doing some custom non-manufactured colors. and one is just for the 2K5 model years colors all i need is the 2K3 and the new 2K6 colors so i can recreate all of the colors that came on the Vibes.ok Mike heres what the Stealth is.

NascarXprt · Post by **NascarXprt** » Thu Aug 10, 2006 2:33 am

drunkenmaxx · Post by **drunkenmaxx** » Thu Aug 10, 2006 2:52 am

HEY! Don't hate on Macs! (I was total PC until a year ago when I started my job here, now it's weird using a PC at my Mom's)It looks just a touch dark on my screen, almost abyss.Drunken, am I lost again?!?! I thought you were gonna make a clean version of the vibe GT-R, not the logo? It's a good logo, tho(wonder why they picked black with a orange outline for the "R"?)oh and thanks for the explanation Cole

drunkenmaxx · Post by **drunkenmaxx** » Thu Aug 10, 2006 3:08 am

nah, i don't have time to mess with the pics like you guys, i just thought you wanted a clean logo!

NascarXprt · Post by **NascarXprt** » Thu Aug 10, 2006 3:10 am

yep no problem ANO i wasnt sure if iwas confusing or good to go. but oh well.and DM that is a great logo its just the GT is kind of unproportioned on the t but its still good. and yea Why did they use an Orange outline and a Black letter??? :scratching head:
