Title: New Sig.... Whatcha Thinkin'?
Post by: cougarXLS on May 20, 2008, 01:30:43 PM
I am slowly but surely learning photoshop... here's my first *project*...
 
I don't really know how to get that Cdn flag to look as if its part of the licence plate.
 
Thoughts?
 
 
Edit: I updated the signature to better reflect my three cars.

Swap around the 2 cougars if you can but still looks good.

hehehe.... I can't just yet... as the picture of the dark Cougar (Cougar A) is only of the front end.  :hick:
 
I will be going nuts (haha, Cougar Nuts) with a digital camera on and off (it depends when I can borrow it) so I will continue on with photochoping!

To do it right use the vanishing point tool in photoshop.  That will give your flag proper perspective on the license plate.

Red Spar, that link was very handy, thank-you. It took me long enough to figure it out... lol, turns out Adobe Photoshop 7 doesn't support that 'filter'... so I upgraded to CS3 and low-and-behold... there was the vanishing point.
 
So I played around with it for a bit, and this was the outcome:

I still need a little bit of practice with that tool... but at least the flag doesn't look too bad. I'll be practising (I shoud work on my speeling too :hick: ) before I try to update my new sig...
 
*Edit:  In my current signature, do you notice the shadow of the photographer on the hood of Cougar A?  Is it possible to remove that shadow?  If so, how?
