1st chop, would appreciate help.

[TSA15]

1st chop ever. Would appreciate any helpful comments. I use corel, not photoshop, so stuff will probably be a little different, but that's okay, I can figure it out. They have about the same capabilities, you just have to do things a little differently. (This is my first post, so please help me with etiquitte too if I say or do something stupid.)

Why don't the pictures work? Did I do something wrong, or is it because I am new? I posted this earlier and took it off because I couldn't get the pictures to work. But, now I am posting it again because I can't find the answer to my question anywhere on the site. If anyone could help it would be much appreciated.

Chopped:


mod list:
different wheels
painted wheels
painted white
shaved antennae
shaved gas door
shaved door handle
shaved marker light
shaved emblem and smoothed hood
shaved the little circle inserts under headlights
tinted windows
tinted headlights
tinted emblem
lowered
blacked out grilles (top and bottom)
(I think that is all)

Like I said, this is my first chop. But, I think it is pretty good. Tell me what you guys think.

By the way...It's a Volkswagon Lupo for anyone who was wondering. I know we don't get those here in the U.S., I didn't know what it was at first.

I don't know how to post them full size. If you click it it will load imageshack. If you click the picture on the pop-up, it should load it full size. (I had to click the picture before I maximized the window to get it to work.) Sorry for the trouble. Hope you guys like it.

do u use photoshop?? you forgot to deselect the number plate, there are alot of faults but its your first chop its not bad seen alot worse for a first chop, wheels are too dark i cant even see the outline of them (probably because im using my crappy monitor). loking forward to your next chop!

No, I use Corel photopaint. And, I don't understand what you mean when you say that I forgot to deselect the number plate. Thanks for the input. I will work on the wheels.

you colored the numberplate, you shouldnt of had it selected when you did the color chenge.

Actually, what happened was, I grayscaled the car before I changed the color. And, I did it on purpose, because I didn't like the blue on the license plate. Here is the mask so you can see what I did and did not do a color change on. Tell me if I missed anything that should have been left out.

Mask:

theres a eisier way to color you know. just select the car and change the color, in stead of masks.

I work in Corel photopaint, not photoshop. I have to do things a little different. If you know how to do that in photopaint, I would love to know.
