How to Twirl.....your pictures!

[Nappers]

3Fitty asked about using Photoshop Elements and how to twirl the license plate.....

I use Paint from good ol' Microsoft and you can do stuff simply from that.

Photoshop Elements is a great tool and once you learn some tasks, others just fall in!

Here ya go and just wanted to say that Tyler aka: roushstage2 is a pro at Photoshop too! I just happen to have my PSE open and thought I could throw one out there for you


First here is Photoshop Elements: Make sure the side pane is expanded:




Use the Marquee Rectangular Tool wrapping the license plate:




See the dots around the license plate?




Use the Twirl tool from the "Styles and Effects" pane: You have to double click, forgot that!




Set the value and look at your preview. Of course you can do the whole car, you are merrily using the twirl from your selection earlier with the marquee rectangular tool, make sense? Hit OK when done




TA DA!! P.S. I did steal this photo from a member.....

Good share Aaron. BTW, your tip is great for a car that's sitting symmetrically. What about a car that's positioned, say tilted or shot sideways (ie: my avatar)?
Solution: Instead of using the magic wand, use the polygonal lasso tool.

ps: apologize if i

Nappers,

That was awesome. I can't believe how easily you did it. Amazing!

Now, when I post my spring time details (that will sound like I know what I'm doing, I'll have you [twirls] and Tyler [water marks] to thank for making me look like a pro)!

The best part is.......

When me and Tyler go through an automatic door....We feel like a Jedi Knight.

You will all learn my young Padawans!

That is a great tip, I will add to it or a separate one. Like I said though, once you learn some tasks, others will fall into place. I learn programs pretty quick. At work, a lot of people come to me with a new watch or how to run new programs for work, and usually I give a tip a week or so and tell them that's why I have Corporal Stripes......

Thanks for that, not all cars are straight on

Re: How to Twirl.....your pictures!

Very cool, but I was aiming this at PhotoShop Elements . Which was asked in another thread.

Also..... What if the car is at an angle as TimG mentioned?

Here ya go:



Use the Polygonal Lasso tool:




The tool can be a tricky one:




Using the tool:




Now you have it:
