Title: Re: So what colours then for the gt's
Post by: showtime on October 30, 2005, 07:21 PM: easiest thing to do is paint your bike in a regular colour & then just photoshop every pic you post of it ;)

that one took less than a minute :D
Title: Re: So what colours then for the gt's
Post by: The-flying-banana on October 30, 2005, 07:25 PM: Lol i thought it looked like the one above but you never know thought the two of em mite be quadrophenia's ??? sorry pete ;D

Showtime you obviously have a little talent for picking some colour anymore ideas ;)
Title: Re: So what colours then for the gt's
Post by: showtime on October 30, 2005, 07:40 PM: i just started twirling the "Hue & Saturation" toggles & stopped when i thought it looked good :o

freestylers do need to be bright though, i heard it was the law!

how about shocking Pink :o

(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/b362/showtime777/Copyofbike-87gtpfttm-pink.jpg)

i would say a very bright yellow but thats what colour my Magician is going so anything but yellow ;)

Post by: kusam on October 30, 2005, 07:49 PM: Thats pretty cool being able to do that Showtime. You could pretend you had a whole collection of bikes. ;)
Title: Re: So what colours then for the gt's
Post by: The-flying-banana on October 30, 2005, 07:56 PM: The first pic of the gt is acctually pink showtime ;) i know it looks orange ???
Title: Re: So what colours then for the gt's
Post by: showtime on October 30, 2005, 07:57 PM: i've never even used photoshop before today, i've been missing out on loads of fun!
look at the difference a 2 minute colour change makes to my beaten up old magician :o

as it is

(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/b362/showtime777/bmx011.jpg)

2 minutes in photoshop, i could have even touched in all the blemishes manually as well :o
but all i did was tweak the colour a bit ;)

(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/b362/showtime777/bmx0112.jpg)

its easy to see on a side by side comparison but it would certainly make things look better for an online aution listing ???
all i'd have to do was be a little more subtle with the contrast/brightness etc & it would fool anyone :-\
not that i would! obviously ::)

Post by: kusam on October 30, 2005, 08:14 PM: Showtime...yep, it does make a big difference...them bricks are amazing ;D

Handy thing to have..wouldn't risk using it on an auction though...wouldn't want people turning up on my doorstep claiming the goods look nothing like the picture ???
Title: Re: So what colours then for the gt's
Post by: showtime on October 30, 2005, 08:18 PM: me neither ???

the trouble is most digicams are so shit in anything other than perfect bright sunlight that most pics are a poor representation anyway ::)
they just don't seem very good at gathering any light :(
there are good digicams out there but good results come with a hefty pricetag :(

Post by: Peanut on October 31, 2005, 10:15 AM: duplicate the layer the cut out the frame so you have just the frame on one layer and whole image on the background then alter the hue of the frame layer, the rest of the image will remain intact when you change the colour of the frame.
