RR_Trials Posted May 4, 2007 Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 (edited) Hey, I'm looking for somebody that has a copy of photoshop and a computer fast enough to run it without a 1year lag time, to do something for me.I'm not trying to be lazy as i have Gimp2 and i am trying to do the same with it but it just seems impossible, if anybody knows how to then that will be greatly appreciated as then i can do it myself.Anyway I'm looking for this to be cut out completely from the background...And applied to this as the background...Now i don't know if this is possible but if anyone out there that wants to do this or could tell me how to do it, make a sort of reflection of the bike on the floor so it looks like its a shiny floor? In some people opinions that may make it look shit. But I'm using it as a background.Please help.Cheers.P.S anybody kind enough to do it themselves, please say as it kind ofneds to be a certain size as i dont want the bike to big, but thankyou and any tips on how i can do it using GIMP2 would be great.

Token Posted May 4, 2007 Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 Its quite do-able. But the pic of the bike is pretty bad quality and that'll show up on the gradient background.If you get a better, less blurry pic. Perhaps with better light aswell then I'll do it for you.

tomturd Posted May 4, 2007 Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 You could make it a lot simpler by using a photo of the bike in front of a plain background, pretty simple then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spode@thinkbikes Posted May 5, 2007 Report Share Posted May 5, 2007 In GIMP, I would use the path tool. Then you can match the curves and straights exactly. GIMP is very powerful, it's just different. If you're used to Photoshop (I came from Paint Shop Pro myself...) then try GIMPshop. It's basically GIMP, but with the same layout as Photoshop. - http://gimpshopdotnet.blogspot.com/The tricky bit (as seen above) is going to be the spokes. That's why you need it against a plain background. It would help if you're picture was higher quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
