Your reg date is old, but I think I'll believe your post count and still call you a n00b. Otherwise, you'd have known better and posted in the appropriate area, that being the PHOTOSHOP forum. Congrats on failure.



ibtl

edit: and speaking from experiance, your Photoshop is childish, isn't funny, and in fact sucks. So you can use a blur tool to add some flames, but you probably don't know what anti-alias is, or how to properly work in layers (as evidenced by your crappily cut in cops, that you probably dropped the resolution on the picture to avoid being noticable, but even then you went the lazy route and failed); so rather than put some effort into something, you just post this turd. Congrats again on failure.

In fairness, it is a thread about the Caparo police car. Which does probably merit it's own thread - we have had at least one Exige police car thread, several for US police cars and that Italian Lambo (images/smilies/drool.gif)

The photoshop is to go along with the news of the Caparo police car. And got a cheap laugh out of me. It's not meant to be a detailed imaging of what a Caparo burning 2 people looks like :/

Ah, didn't know about the Caparo police car. Still, even as an image in jest, there are still quite a number of quality issues he could've worked out, as the cops look like they've been copy/paste/cut by a spaz. I'm not looking for high quality work, but at least a little effort put forth for the sake of humor.

Let me just quickly, in 2 minutes, photoshop up that image! Then you can critique it in terms of it's value as a work of art for me! images/smilies/tongue.gif

To put this thread back on topic : Link to Caparo Police Car news.

Note how the potential criminals just need to go over a speedbump to escape.

I'm not going to hound you in every thread we meet in, if that's what you're worried about (I'll just complain once in here and then let it go). I'm just griping at your lack of quality, and you seemed to come off as "HAY GUYZ WUTS GOING ON HERE?!" It's the goon in me...


If you need a little suggestion, zoom in more when you make your cuts around the cops, or layer the flames on top of them, rather than behind. Or learn to mask. Also, anti-alias is your friend. I know it's just a quick and dirty and crummy shop, but just spend and extra 1 or 2 minutes, and it'll be all that much better. I'm not telling you to go out and waste 5 hours to make a master piece or anything like that, just take your time to clean things up a bit. Believe me, its the difference between "crap" and "hey, that's kinda funny". At least you don't use red Times New Roman font. Then I really would've thrown the book at you.

Capable of accelerating from a Police lay-by to 100mph in just 5 seconds and onto a top speed of 200mph, the Caparo T1 RRV would be deployed to hunt down car criminals within the M25.

Like everything else in the Met Police’s armoury, this bespoke RRV is intended as a deterrent. Just check your mirrors next time you fancy breaking the speed limit!

Ummm.........I don't think the OP was going for realism or good workmanship. I found it funnier done kinda crappy and silly, rather then if he had actually tried to make it look good and real. Not sure why you jumped on him for it anyways, as the joke seemed obvious to me (baked potato and all that).
