Anyone good at photoshop?

[notax]

I've seen some great photoshopping on here in the past but am completely clueless with it myself and wondered if anyone would be prepared to help out...

I have a great photo of my rally car which I'd like to enlarge and give to one of my sponsors as it shows off her company logo nicely (and is quite dramatic )

Unfortunately the photo was taken before the car had its personalised plate fitted and as it is a head on shot it would be great if someone could change the plate to what it now reads. If anyone can help please let me know. Thanks.

Thanks for all the replies I'm so hopeless I can't even post the photo on here but hopefully Miss Notax will come to the rescue! I'll post itt and the details here and see if anyone wants to have a go at it and if it doesn't work I'll contact one of you guys above

This is the photo! Will you need the original to photoshop? If so PM Notax for the jpg!

Here you go I changed the number plate on the back and did a nice upgrade on the front for you.

Very good

The number plate I'd like it changed to is M3 21PPY which is the personalised plate I've just had placed on it. Unfortunately I don't have the car or plates with me as both are based in South Wales! I will ask Miss Notax if she can post the link to enable someone to have a go at changing it. Thanks again

Thanks to those of you who have PM'd me. Strangely I haven't received any e-mails though? I'm receiving loads of other e-mails so maybe there is some issue with a spam filter? I'll try and send a PM to JSS911 and see what happens...

OP is not aware of the lion's pit he's wandered into...

The lion's pit seems rather quiet? I look forward to seeing the results

I think they're waiting on the original image.

Ahh yes, good point. I asked Miss Notax to post the link to it but I guess she hasn't had time (too busy working!) I expect she knows what to post but in case she doesn't can someone explain it simply for me? I think she puts the photos on Flickr or something..? God I really am technologically hopeless

[notax]

Thanks guys, very good

We have been out mountain biking all night and just got in (we are hardcore )so Miss Notax hasn't had a chance to post the link. The photos are apparently on Photobucket and she'll post the link in the morning. Last one looks very much what I'm after Enjoyed the previous ones too though!

You guys are good (except for the last one!)

The size I intend to blow it up to is about 30cm x 40cm to go in a frame in the reception area of Afon House - it is a chiropractic clinic so the wheelchair is quite inspired

Hopefully MIss Notax will be along shortly to give you a link/jpeg thingy

His original post to the photo actually had a larger version. If you download this http://thumbsnap.com/f/3zDFG4l4 then it comes in at 3396px x 2264px which should be workable for a decent size print.

Agree. I did my serious one on the full size image. It was done in 10 mins but is this what the OP was after?

Yes, really pleased with that one thank you Daft question, but how do I get that image in a form where I can get it printed by someone? Could you e-mail it to me or can I get it some other way? Sorry to be a numpty!

For such a good photo why stop at a small frame in the reception area?

That is very good! Keen to email a copy of that to Afon House if possible Sadly I don't think the council would approve of the full size version - they even asked her to reduce the size of her logo on the end wall! Well done for finding where Afon House are based...

Rally car - chiropractor clinic





Gottit! Your customers are rally drivers who have 'yumped' too hard and damaged their backs.

You are right - although I'm one of her patients I used to spend so much with her that she decided to sponsor me If anyone needs a chiropractor I strongly recommend Afon House in Salisbury (shameless plug) they are very good and have always put me back together again after my various injuries.

Someone in a much earlier thread suggested changing background colours to improve the photo - I know this is done in magazine photos a lot with false sunsets etc would it work on this photo? Another challenge if you are interested!

[notax]

Very good

A lot of effort has gone into that - I like the subtle Red Bull logos (although the sponsors won't!)Little cones also good

Interesting to see how much you've changed the colour. Caused me to look more closely at all the previous photos on page 2 and there are quite a few differenecs...

JS911 - sky dranmatic (good thing) but car dull

Pernod - car really nice and bright (similar to its real colour) but sky less dramatic

DAVIDOS - both car and sky look a bit washed out, which also effects the best serious photo from Xrrr.

Is there any chance the car could be brightened as in Pernod's photo, with sky dramatic as in JS911 based on Xrrr's last photo? I know I ask a lot

[notax]

That's brilliant

Thanks Xrrr and the rest of you

Whoops, I might be too late as only just got access to my webserver (emailed you but never heard back)

Here's a full size proper edit in case it's of use.

Excellent, thanks Sorry I didn't receive your PM, I think I mentione din an earlier post no PMs were getting through to me. I guess they are being held by my firm's spam filter?
