Carbon Fibre tutorial

Okay first find whatever pick you want to put CF on. My choice is this supra.

Next Find a car with a nice looking CF hood, like this one!

Now what you want to do is outline the middle part of the hood with the polygonal lasso tool Like such.

Now copy and paste it onto your pic you wanna CF, and turn the layer off. After that is done outline the hood of your car like such.

Now copy and paste the hood. Then transform the hood in any way to make it fill up the space of the hood that you just copied and pasted like such. Note: MAKE SURE THAT THE PART OF THE CF HOOD IS VISIBLE!!

Now with the CF hood part highlighted in the layers box press ctrl and click on the hood from your car that you are CFin like such.

After Press Ctrl+Shift+I to inverse and press delete to get rid of the CF around your hood liek such.

Now highlight the CF hood part and go to the box above the word lock which should say normal. Now click on that box and look for overlay. Click on that and this should make the cf quite clear. THIS IS WHAT IT SHOULD LOOK LIKE!

After that press Ctrl+U and turn the saturation to -100 and the Lightness to about -30( or whatever looks good) After you've done this flaten the CF layer on to the hood press Ctrl+E to do so. MAKE SURE YOU DONT FLATIN ONTO THE BACKGROUND YET!!

Now go up to Image-Adjustments-Brightness/Contrast... and play around with it to make your CF look the best.

nice nzoz that the first time ive seen a different cf tut with a good finish! looks alot more real than doing the other more popular way.

damn, for some reason i cant do the ctrl + click bit to select my hood, how do i do it?

ive always had trouble with that part aswell... i jest reselect it.

yeah, just set layer to 0 opacity then reselect it and reset to 100 opacity
