I've seen some of the work you guys do w/PS and I know you can handle this one. If anyone has a spare minute, could you take

Maybe proportional to 20's or 22's.

Thanks, I preciate it!!!!!!!! B.

Here ya go.I dunno about the rims being proportional to 20's or 22's,but they ARE on the truck.Also,I kinda got bored in the middle of the chop,just to warn you.

Not exactly fond of the hair or the t-shirt :read:, but thanks for the clear corners and the wheels.

:whatever:

NP.

This is a perfect example of why you should NOT let people get bored while they have your picture loaded up into photoshop:crazy:

Hell, it's a perfect example of why not to have yourself or anyone else in the pic that you want edited for that matter. :LOL: :LOL:

But we all have to learn sometime, right? :crazy:


BTW -- not a bad job on the wheels. For any PS rookies that have a tough time doing wheels, it may be going to extremes, but if I want the wheels to be proportional, I'll free transform them to get the oval shape that matches the angle and size of the wheel in the pic, then I'll just lock the width/height ratio and increase them in size by X percent. In this case, since the Tahoe Z71 wheels are 17's, I'd increase them by 118% to get 20's. Oh yeah... you'll need to use 2 different layers and repeat this process for the rear wheels too.
:crazy:

I'll have to try that next time.I have always had some trouble getting rims to fit when the pic was taken at an odd angle.All I can say is that each time I try,I can only get better;)

Chugg, you mind takin a crack at it? Better pics are linked in sig.
MMMmmmm,Billet, maybe you can find a better pic there also. Thanks, B.

Actually, BL, I can try, but I can almost guarantee that the results won't be that much better. The problem with my approach (or any attempt to change wheels for that matter) is that unless the pics you're working with are at virtually the same angle, and I mean really really close to identical, you lose the depth of the wheel as soon as you start screwing with the proportions. The end result is that you get what looks like a painting of a wheel on flat disk. You'd almost need a 3d program to get it to look right without spending weeks on trying to clean it up.
