Re: The basics of chopping

Paint
1. Right click the layer in your layers box, and duplicate it. On your duplicated layer, hit ctrl+u to desaturate it


2.Then, click image>variations and play around with the color options until you find something you want.


3. Highlight the basic shape of the car, then Invert it (shift+I) and delete.


You should be left with this:


4. Our next step is to highlight and delete all the extras that shouldn’t be red and delete them. You can do each piece individually, or highlight one, then hold shift and highlight the next one.


This should be the end result.Flatten the image if you already haven’t.


Tinting Windows
1. First off, we want to highlight the windows or whatever you want tinted.


2. Go to image> Variations and click brightness. Lower the brightness to whatever you like, I usually stick to around 20-30 though.


3. Done.


Lowering
Lasso the bottom section of the car adn make a box around the rest, as shown.


Hold ctrl, and hit the down arrow. The car should lower itself onto the rims. If there is white spaces when done, carefully fill it in with the paint bucket. Then, crop the white space out of the top and there you go!


That’s all for now. More to come.
