_Kenny_ · Jun 20, 2006

not sure about it, seems to make the wheels look small?

Maz · Jun 20, 2006

Much better

Blue4Ever · Jun 20, 2006

Bit lighter than in that photoshop would be superb, standard 182 wheel colour.

No problemmo!

I personally think it looks better after my photoshop, though I am a fan of darker wheels.

ChorleyFM · Jun 20, 2006

How do you change the colour of wheels on PS?

select it, then alter brightness/contrast settings. that should get you going for starters.

to add colour use the variations tool, then hue/saturation.

Topgeartom · Jun 20, 2006

The trick to a good photoshop IMO is all in the selecting - the more time you spend selecting things or 'cutting them out' - whatever you want to call it, the better the end result will be.

To change the wheel colour select around the wheel taking time to rotate and shift the selection if neccessary to get a good fit around the alloy, and then go to Image -> Adjustments -> Hue/Saturation. You can simply lower the lightness to make them darker or go crazy and using the hue slider give them a colour.

Black looks awesome imo. Loadsa peeps got anthracite mate, the black looks smart AND original...

Blue4Ever · Jun 21, 2006

thanks for the info guys, both helpful. Which tool do you prefer for cutting out/selecting?

Giles · Jun 21, 2006

mint

The Big Yin · Jun 21, 2006

Front splitter from hydeho's car would look good on it with the lighter shade and some 172 style skirts

Englebert · Jun 21, 2006

Defo go with the black, anthracite is for pussies!

Limca · Jun 21, 2006

black

I use a fair few - whichevers best for the situation though really. the best tool to use in general when cutting out complex shapes - like the outline of a car or a wing mirror for example is the polygonal lasso. Obviously though, when cutting out a circle like a wheel use the circular tool - if the selection doesnt fit exactly then drag out an oblong and then right-click and choose transform selection - that way you can manipulate your selection for a perfect fit.

ChorleyFM · Jun 21, 2006

I really like both, im probably swaying towards the anthracite though, not to keen on the wheels being darker than the tires :S

Although im still very open to opinions, so the question is black or dark anthracite?

Mods, any chance of a poll?

Englebert · Jun 21, 2006

Just make sure it is matt black, not gloss, then the tyres won't look brown!

ChorleyFM · Jun 21, 2006

^^^ Maybe, topgeartom any chance you can do three variations of the second picture, say light anthracite, dark antracite and like a matt black, sorry to be a pain in the arse.

Will be much appreciated
