photoshop person needed

Hello all....i have the new issue of classic cars which was discussed earlier....however i have just cut out the cutaway drawing from the issue and was hoping someone could help me isolate just the cutaway, make the lines on it crisper and darker, and make the white background on it a little whiter. I can post it here for everyones enjoyment if somone tells me how to do that...or i can e-mail it to somone who thinks they can help me out....i really appreciate it. Thanks!

Email the original scans to me and I will give it a whirl - I'd love to have the finshed copy and don't mind helping. I'm no Photoshop expert, but I do pretty well with it. :cool:

I am in the process of having this sorted at the moment, when it is completed I'll post it.

Thanks the scans are on the way! I appreciate it man!

I use photoshop quite a bit as well, so if I can be of any help you can reach me at [email protected]

This actually ended up being one of the more difficult things I've done with Photoshop, but I'm happy with the results. Hopefully you guys will be too. :)

Awesome! Great work man

:iagree:

Pretty damn neat Erik!....:bigthumb:

Thanks for the great effort - that's my new wallpaper!

Great work Erik :thumbsup:

The version I am having done will be slightly different, more a montage. Will post when complete.

Erik, could you post the original? I'd be interested to see what you did with it.


Thanks




Chris

Don't you have the magazine? Just imagine a scan of those two pages. :wink:

The difficult part was the bleed through you always get from scanned pages in a magazine wherever there are white areas. Thankfully webslinger had stitched the two pages together perfectly into one file, but there was still a line down the middle that needed to go away which was another challenge.

Great Job Erik, By the way my name is Dan for anyone that may want to know that.....great job on the photoshop!

Thanks for the scans to make it possible Dan. :thumbsup:

Someone asked me to make one with the logo in red which sounded like a good idea. In case anyone else wants it too:

Bravo Erik,

I couldn't have done a better job myself. *Thumbs up :)

Neat idea. :cool:

Now we just need to find a way to add water and have it grow to full size. :lol:

Thanks again for doing this - I liked it so much I ended up having it put on a t-shirt through a promotional offer I found on the web (http://www.kleargear.com/1508.html). The image is being put on a 100% cotton pre-shrunk Hanes shirt for the introductory price of $2.99 plus about $5 postage. I figured for $8 it was hard to go wrong - I went through all of my McLaren images and this one seemed to be most suited for a t-shirt.
Please note that I have not received the shirt yet so can't speak as to the quality of the shirt or printing. Also note that I have no involvement with the promo offer - meaning this is not a referral deal or anything like that.:smokin:

Damn! That would look hot on a black shirt!

I had a couple of McLaren F1 t-shirts made through cafe press a while ago. They were expensive and crappy. And they shrank after one wash. Getting ready to try again, this time with a reputable local printer. I will let you guys know and add your orders to mine, if you like. Cost will be closer to $20 per shirt, plus shipping.

1. There are 3 different caricature style images available from Koolart in the UK. They are available on many items besides t-shirts - hoodies, coffee mugs, etc, etc.
2. I have a client who owns a screen-printing company with national companies as accounts. He can print on any shirt so if somebody is serious about a run of shirts I can look into pricing. $20 is definitely on the high side but, of course, it depends on the quantity.

Have now received the t-shirt and while I obviously have not washed it to see how it holds up I'm very pleased with the quality of the shirt and the printing.

I have been waiting for this schematic for so long......

Are there any other schematics out there ?

Bought the magazine and was about to rip apart to join the image together and have a decent 1 page schematic. Now i don't have to.

Great job guys. this is my current wallpaper.

just to let you know, this is now available as wallpaper on the mclaren cars website if your a member

Anyone fancy taking a picture of a Gulf mclaren (1995) and replace the Blue with Roman Purple and the Silver with Gold then finally the orange with Yellow. I don't fancy repainting a model to see what it would look like.

Carbuilder, Why would you wanna do that . I think the gulf livery was the best livery the car ever came in.

Whats the reason for those specific colors ?

I have the ninco Mclaren, i have being toying with the idea of buying another and spraying it either lm orange or doing the gulf livery

Personally, I hate baby blue. And I never cared for gulf colours, although the deep blue one is ok.

Being sponsored by Crown Royal, Carbuilder? :naughty: I jest of course. :icon16:

i also thought the same about the lighter blue, until i saw one upclose, it certainly goes with the car, and definitely does not look crap :D :D :D

Just playing what if.
If I did aquire a Mac of my own and decided to change the colour must admit i would be tempted to go for the 1995 Gulf Livery, you dont see many 2 tone F1's. I then started thinking what other ex racing liveries could be applied and considered British Racing Green over gold, then the Silk Cut Purple over White and then thought combine the two and Purple over Gold. Just playing.

Hi all,

What is that filter, radiator thingy infront of the engine's air intake?

Its the engine,s air filter!!

If you look at an engine bay pic, you will see a removeable access panel. ahead of the air box/metering units. Its a fair size filter, so as not to restrict air flow to the 6.1 ltr v12 engine.

HI all,

I thought that the round tubes that go to the engine were the air intake filters.......

good thing you asked then.....

hey, whats that little hexagonal thingy in the middle of the mag wheel ? LOL

The changes you requested (I hope) though I did leave the logos alone:

I wasn't really fond of the wheels in orange and couldn't get them to look right in yellow either, so...

can i have one too, dori blue with nemo orange polka dots......

Just joking........

Cool work on the colors, prefer the purple mags.......

Thanks peloton25,
Think for a road car I would ditch the logos, but on the whole not to garish. I think the wheels would end up either Titanium or Gold.Maybe a slightly darker shade of purple as well.
Anyway well done and may just have a go at repainting an F1 model if I can find one with poor paint on ebay.

I did one up with titanium/gunmetal wheels:

Call me goofy, but I think I prefer the matching purple ones the most.

i think a HDF F1 in that cadburys shade of purple would actually look good :)

.....not 2-tone though, thats for racecars................ or veyrons only :rolleyes: :rofl:

Hmm looking better, think the yellow dividing line gets lost will have to think what else could be used. May look at a Cadburys wrapper.

so who did the original technical illustration ghosted view of that maclaren then? and more inportantly how and where di he get the technical drawings to be able to pull it off? I am a technical illustrator and would have loved to have had a go at that project. Its a case of either get access to the car, or get access to all the hundreds of drawings to be able to create it.

I know Mclaren are VERY protective of their corporate logos and graphics what is the copyright on this issue?

autotecart
www.autotecart.com

I'm pretty sure thats internal mclaren. 99% sure (+ mclaren website also has the same drawing, reversed out)

I need a Photoshop person one more time! I was wondering if anyone can clean this up so it looks straight out of McLaren, instead of being a photocopy of a photocopy that it currently looks like. If not either way enjoy the largest size of this drawing I have seen to date!

If you are interested in working on it I have the full size PDF of this which is about 11 in X 17 in. PM me your e-mail address and I will send it your way. Or perhaps on of the awesome admins of the site can host it instead? Thanks guys!

Lets try this again...

Clearly very early on possibly even pre-clinic model, can anyone shed more light on this possibly a date even?
