Default Getting into Photoshopping

I downloaded the full version of paint.NET and its a pretty good photoshop. Not as seamless as Adobe and some of the other ones, but its pretty good.

So far I have added a little to my avatar,

grafted my lights on Tyler's blazer:



Fixed his Avatar:




Put Rabbit's rims on my Blazer just to see what it would look like:



I'm getting better at using it, so soon I'll be able to seamlessly put stuff where it doesn't belong!




*edit* Ha! this is my 2,222nd post! LOL

Not bad, just need to match whatever you're putting in with the existing picture. I'm no pro, but for instance the euro lights you put on Tyler's truck, they aren't as fuzzy (or more clear) than the rest of the picture. In my photoediting program it would be a matter of contrasting the lights to match or clearing up the existing picture to match. Rabbit's rims on yours looks pretty good, just need to blend the edges to flow into the tire. Overall very very good!

Thanks! Its a lot harder to do on paint.NET than it is on the Adobe program we have at school, but overall its a very good program!I had originally downloaded the demo, but I went ahead and got the full version because it was free too. Idk why... You just have to save everything as a.jpg rather than a .pdn because most photohosting sites will not recognize it.

Thanks man!

Just put a billet grille on Mom's envoy.... it looks pretty good. I still need more practice and learn a little more about the available tools.




If anyone has anything they want photoshopped, I can get some practice by doing it...

Looking good, I have played around with the paint.net a little, but nowhere near that good yet. Mainly I was using it for an updated signature, but never got around to posting it, since i am still having problems with the resolution.

hmmmm, your pics don't show for me. I down loaded paint.net before but never got the hang of it. If you want practice, I want to paint my car a two tone scheme.

Yeah I just hit my photobucket bandwidth...something I never thought I'd do!

Here is jharper's truck with rims. This one was really tricky because you never see pictures of rim at a striat-on angle.
