photoshop question?

Question

if im editing a car, how do i put an image onto a car like a paint job? i want to put thing image of bubbles as my paint job. any good websites for this?

Answer 1

I'd do a mask on the car body and then make a new layer with the mask still active. You can add the bubble image to the mask, adjust the transparency to make it look more realisistc and use the layers pallete to bevel the "paint job". :-)

There is a "bubble" pattern in the layers pallete - click Screen and you'll see it about 1/2 way down the menu.

Answer 2

i don't know of any websites with such tutorial.
briefly you could play with the blend modes for instances; soft, overlay, etc try them some will multiply the images on top of each others to make it look like its actually painted/tattooed on it.

mind to make minor adjustments with erase tool, brush tool
to make it look less copied and pasted. find similar images where lets say a car which has a sticker on or maybe painted on, you will see how the light casts on the object(tattoo, sticker, paint-blobs) and the complete geometry of the object(car) your applying it to.

play around in photoshop long enough and you'll create realism.
hope this helps/ good luck!
