link doesnt work, and what did you erase from the back of the car?

looks messed up. also, everything black and white while a black car is still in color looks messed up too lol

photo wise it looks nice, but I wish I could see the original

I think the original looks much better. great pic. and all those others are real nice too, but I still think leaving color untouched (or at least still there) is better

I noticed you erased something even before looking at the original, the photoshop job isnt too great, but good for a doctor images/smilies/lol.gif

I like the blur, but not the erasing and B&W with the car still in color..

actually if you just leave the wheels in color its not bad:

I erased the trash bins too. Im no doctor but I still suck at PS, so my job isnt the best either images/smilies/mrgreen.gif

patrick10 · July 26th, 2006, 03:55 PM

to be honest im a little more interested in the car than the pics.

i like this one, but the rest seem to be bad angles where the whole car is never in focus

llpc60 · July 26th, 2006, 08:08 PM

Id like to point out that the quality is really bad too, what are you saving them with?

takahashi · July 28th, 2006, 03:08 AM

Thanks for the negative guys.

I take up the point of not having the car focused... I use a micro 50mm lens and it does not do the job properly. 8)

images/smilies/oops.gif

I save it with huge compression for the website. Yes I should use some better program. I just use what it comes with Photoshop. Any better suggestion?

******** TAKA REQUEST *************

If anyone can show me how to do a similar effect but better on my original - note the link at the 3rd post and give it a 800 pixel wide and 400 pixel high picture for my site. Attached a small signature of your in the lower right corner and I will link it to your site images/smilies/biggrin.gif

.

Thanks in advance and help a medico learning photoshop. images/smilies/mrgreen.gif

llpc60 · July 28th, 2006, 03:26 AM

^ what? like the ones I made?

Ianspeed · July 28th, 2006, 03:48 AM

Hey, heck of a flash site as a hobby site. Nice.

Lots of broken links (I found a lot of htttp addresses, and many video files which were dead).

i like the car too. Rx-8 is a pretty thing.

As for the first photo on the thread, you running a bypass on the cats? images/smilies/smile.gif

Aus rocks for a lot of reason. One of them is their love of rotary cars.

Damn, I miss my Rx-7 Tubo II.

Keep posting images, we may not be kind, but at least we appreciate seeing cool cars people actually own.

Did not see that. The colour blur is nice. Do you think they fit my website?

Hey, heck of a flash site as a hobby site. Nice.

Thanks. I have been reading and learning website building for a while.

Lots of broken links (I found a lot of htttp addresses, and many video files which were dead).

Maybe the popup blocker is stopping you getting the pics and video. I will try to fix that. I want to get a link and you can download the video rather than embeded into the flash. Maybe I should do that.

Yeah it is a sexy thing that gets you girls - it is not slow too, despite the lack of power. images/smilies/thumbsup.gif

As for the first photo on the thread, you running a bypass on the cats?

It was 3 degree and the car is also that cold. See my garage - I just reverse out and park there to take pic. If I shut it, I fear of flooding.

Aus rocks for a lot of reason. One of them is their love of rotary cars.

Waiting for some of them to release a properly made Supercharger. Some FI version are good for 200kW atw but not on the track doing laps yet.

Keep posting images, we may not be kind, but at least we appreciate seeing cool cars people actually own.

Should I say thanks for the unkind words images/smilies/rolleyes.gif

. Haha

I will get some taken next time I am on the track. (2 weeks)

llpc60 · July 28th, 2006, 06:39 AM

Ill redo them at whatever size you need, and Ill save at different levels of compression too for you to see whats best.

what size do you want 800x400

color+blur?

jayhawk · July 28th, 2006, 11:11 PM

I really like this one. It looks like a car model in a scaled toy house setting.

llpc60 · July 29th, 2006, 01:28 AM

REQUEST

SIZE = 800 x 400 pixels (about 40kB in size or less)
STYLE = Whatever you like (keep the car on the right hand side)
EXTRA REQUEST = a nice small logo at bottom right so I can link to your site.

llpc60 · July 29th, 2006, 01:36 AM

should i change anything

takahashi · July 29th, 2006, 02:18 AM

Awesome

I have so much to learn images/smilies/thumbsup.gif

One problem: The size is too big. Sorry if I did not make it clear. 40kb is more acceptable for a pic since I want to keep the flash file as small as possible images/smilies/wink.gif

I am about to upload the rest so you can do the same.

llpc60 · July 29th, 2006, 03:58 AM

^ i totally forgot about that

http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j1...ls/RAIL/52.jpg

http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j1...ls/RAIL/51.jpg

its around 60k, anything below that and it starts looking really bad. you sure you want it smaller?

takahashi · July 29th, 2006, 09:07 AM

Thanks a lot images/smilies/thumbsup.gif

60K is cool. Thanks

I have upload the rest of the original in the thread above - you will notice there is a drift pic in there. images/smilies/lol.gif

Some of it is not very good in exposure images/smilies/oops.gif
