How do you use photoshop to achieve this?

[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.

Hmm I guess what I was mainly looking at was ... Example:

Look @ the carbon fiber lip and see how the light on there is some what diffused?

BTW Im not a n00b just saw a few of these photos and was amazed at them...

It seems like 2 seperate images layerd on top of each other

1. The car
2. the city in the back ground and the bridge it self
   and then messed with seperatly

ill mess around with it and see if i can duplicate the effects

prison scares me

[SmitEvo]

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.

I agree

[Bryce]

I thought you were talking about the color, lol.

If you want the blur affect I would stick the car on another layer then just motion blur the back ground in the direction of travel.

Nah its hard to explain, like in magzines and photos on the internet of models, they make thier skin look like it almost glows and its really smooth etc...

I dont' knwo do you know what I mean?

[uwatchn]

I think i know what you mean and i have tried playing with the "Filter" (like paint daubs) options on photoshop i believe with some tweaking you could get that glow as

PS. long as you start of with a decent pic of you car in the right light and clean as shit
