Sean, I dont see how the hell you could be bored with ALL THAT VIDEO THAT YOU NEED TO EDIT!!

where is our teaser!? lol

[idealer]

I would use illustrator over Photoshop as the sign shop or painter could use the art work to recreate the design, Photoshop creates a raster or pixel image vs illustrator creates a vector or line based rendering that can be re-created @ scale...

[lovesdunes]

But when we're just screwing around I find photoshop to be faster...

HAHA i know mike, these pics took me about 5 mins to do. i am going to get the full film done by the end of the month. the dvd will be for sale by march for like $12.00 to cover my cost on tapes and camera maintance.

Who is that design for, since when has big o tires been into off road? we use to own a big o tires so i am curious.

and you can get a vector file from photoshop. illustrator just takes long and gives better detail.

someone in general disscusion is looking for help.

[Magellan]

i would like a little help with photshop. we like our colors but are open to something new. Thanks

[lovesdunes]

Do you have any better pictures? Better as in larger and maybe without all the text over the image?

[Magellan]

is this better? if not ill look around for more

[lovesdunes]

Ya it's better. But I would have to think there is a better picture of your car out there someplace.

You would like to see some different stuff so the better the picture is the better the results will be.

Before...

You might recognize that car. It was born in Holtville.

[Magellan]

is that the Paradigm car? i know there's better pics out there, im just having a hard time finding them. a friend of mine takes a lot of pics and i asked him for a couple he just hasnt gotten back to me yet. Thanks for wanting to help, hopefully by tonight ill have more pics up

[lovesdunes]

Yep that's the Paradigm car.

I'm glad to help. I'm pretty good with Photoshop as long as the picture I start with is ok.

[Magellan]

Hope these are better

[KylesDad]

I like to mess around with the pictures while changing the color of things. Like the neighbors green probe. It's really white. That F-350 wasn't in the street. That's my truck. I get bored so I have to make it entertaining for myself. :)

[ironmtnracing]

Vector vs Raster

I believe Photoshop is capable of producing a vector based image. Save as .eps and you should be able to hand the file off for production.

Worked for some t-shirts I had made.

[jo maoma]

saving an image in photoshop as an .eps doesn't create
a vector drawing of the image, it's still a raster image....





edit: if the raster image is simple you can use the "live trace"
feature in illustrator to convert it to a vector image

Huh? :rolleyes:

[SEANY]

You can create in photoshop then transfer to illustrator and get a vector file. I have CS4 and my photoshop creates a vector file.

haha.. good stuff! hope you use your talents to get paid! I didnt even notice the dinosaur, I had to scroll back, TWICE! kept looking at the car, not the background.

WADR, your "racing" team, is more or less cub scout status. Like rubbing 2 twigs together, on the opposite side of the spectrum would be the annual Christmas tree/pallet burn, representing say the Herbst's or Riviera. :D

[SEANY]

just by saving the file as an .eps....

Yea I created a logo in photoshop and sent it to my sticker guy. He ask if I sent it as a vector and I said no. When he opened the email it was a vector file. He printed my stuff right up.
