PHOTOSHOP......psshhhhhh

[Tony]

I think most if not all of us on here use photobucket to host images. However i dont think a lot of you know what you can do on photobucket. Editing images on Photoshop requires a fee from what i'm told, and i think it's a program you have to download. also i dont know if you can even paste images on forums directly from photoshop.

I happen to like photobuckets advanced settings. Anyone that has edited images on photobucket sees the little advanced settings in the lower left corner...click it, you'd be shocked at what you can do with it. heres some examples of advanced editing i did on a basic S197 GT:





BEFORE:

2tone paint stance and wheel chop:

wheel, stance, shaved, and window delete, also extended the window line:

color change and wheel chop:

Spend a little time in the advanced settings section and you can do pretty much anything that you can do on Photoshop

lol, i just sounded like a sales rep for photobucket, lol.

these are just quick chops i did this mourning. if i wanted to spend a little more time i could make them crazy, lol.

Good job, keep in mind though you were using pretty much a perfect subject, solid plain color background, shadows directly under the car, side angle perfectly straight, etc

 

[Tony]

it is easy to match angles just by finding an image on google. a lot of guys want wheel chops ad color changes. easily done just using photobucket.

slight angle of my car:

from this straight side shot:

lol, i stole his wheels

when you click on edit. the pic comes up in a new screen...at the lower left hand corner it says advanced settings in a little blue box. if you have the new version of p/b you'll have to simply witch back to the original. new version sucks for editing pics.

Firstly, great writeup, and pretty cool that photobucket's capable of all that!

Secondly, as for Photoshop... in the right hands, it can do just about anything, and it is and has been the go-to image editing tool for a reason (and it has a price tag to match). The catch is that it's able to hold onto that spot by having a feature set that takes about 5 minutes to get started with, and then years to learn a meaningful fraction of. You can't directly post to a forum from PS, since it runs locally on a given computer, and doesn't automatically upload to hosting somewhere (though there might well be plugins for that). For quick edits like the above, PS is beyond overkill. For pixel-perfect modifications to a photo that's going to become the cover of a magazine, precision color adjustments to bring together an entire image gallery, or other actual photo editing work, though, it's the best I've seen.

Personally, I had never looked at Photobucket's tools simply because 1) I've always had either access to a system with photoshop... 2) I've used the only meaningful competitor PS has in my eyes, the open source (and, notably, free) knock-off, the Gimp, which tends to be installed on every system I have that has a screen... and 3) I've simply never started an account there. I may have to change that last one (but I'll be keeping the Gimp handy).

dude knows whats up ^

@poison...photoshops prolly awesome i'm sure. this is just to give other guys that use photobucket ideas on choppin wheels and shit w/o having to sign up to a photoshop account.

 

[whiplash473]

photobucketshop is probably more user friendly for most people too

Well, it's not so much an account as it is an empty bank account... anywhere from $250 (educational price) to $600 (standard) or $900 (extended), for actual photoshop. They have 'cloud' offerings and other things that I'd classify as gimmicks more than anything, and they also produce an array of other, related, tools for publishing, web design, video editing, etc, that fill out the rest of the industry standard tool suites... but photoshop alone is enough to make a wallet cry. This would be why my phrasing said I have access to systems with it, rather than me having it.

lol, yea i noticed ya said you can use it (not on your own pc). i actually did not know it was nearly that expensive.
