How do you use photoshop to achieve this?

[SmitEvo]

Adobe elements is a limited ability version of Photoshop...

Elements = Basic Elements of Photoshop....

[Ashli19]

ive never been able to do nething like that on photoshop b4....and wats 'the sex' mean?

[SmitEvo]

Photoshop is just like 25x more complex then Elements...

It wasn't meant for general consumer use really... hence its high price tag.

You take your image in to Photoshop;

Image/
Adjustments/
Color balance or contrast, or brightness any of those will help you achieve the look you want.

no way am i competant with elements or PS, but from what i have read you need to know how to do layers and or mask layers. then use gaussian blur to blur.
i use elements as i could afford 100 for elements but not 600 for photoshop.

from what i read it is not terribly hard to do, but will take some practice to get good at it.

prison scares me

There has only been one person to go to prison for Software Piracy, and he distributed literally millions of copies of software...

You use the magic tool to select just the background, since the background's color is completely different then the car. After selecting the background, use blur. To get the diffuser to be light like that, use the blending tool, and blend it with the color of the road.

werd its worth the risk i think...

[legacy-user-33]

This is pretty close to the 330i image. Photoshop CS2: I used the magic wand to select everything, except the car, then used motion blur. Of course the wheels are not spinning, so that takes away the realisticity of the image.
