Any photochop/shop experts

[98tls]

think thats what its called......cant decide on polishing the rims on this thing or painting black...can anyone show me it with black and silver rims?

[Clivoris]

Dude, that's a dilemna. I have no experience with photoshop at all so sorry can't help. FWIW I'm not a fan of polished rims but in my imagination they look better than the black paint. Matches the frame better I guess. Back in the day I saw a darker green TLS with matching green rims, it looked suprisingly good. Good luck man.

[oldguy]

You could polish them, and if you don't like it all the hard work is done just paint over,
as Clivorus said, would try something diffrent get them painted the same colour as the bike.
there are a couple of people on here that do that photoshop thingy, was a post I saw, someone else was looking for help.

I can't see anything. I think I can see the outline of a TL in that shrubbery, but I'm not sure.

Small doses - 'The Vidiot from UHF' - rates as an all time fave US film.
Same shelf as Waynes Worlds and Spinal Tap.

There is a Canadian guy called Gordon Case last seen in AKL who owes me $200 in similar circumstances.

I'm thinking that red wheels are the dogs bollocks really :yes:

[Clivoris]

Big ups Big Dave. I knew you had to have more than good looks and a passing interest in taxidermy going for you.

[98tls]

You win, how can we compete with that!

Shit I feel for those poor buggers who's houses are loosing the ground from under them in the Hutt Valley, looks terrible on TV. :bye: John.

[Clivoris]

True that. Hope they all well insured.

[98tls]

bought a set of GSXR rims that will work.....IE.....cush drives etc.....TL wheels will be polished,

EQC covers that sort of thing dont it? But I think you need house insurance to claim on that is it?

You started it!

EDIT : and to pull back on topic what software did you actually use their BD? Obviously something off the Mac, can Gimp do that sort of thing?

[98tls]

You started it! Fair enough...good call.....BUT......

[DMNTD]

Nice bike anyway you paint it mate!
Liked the "green" rims that BD did but how about if the spokes were black and them rims only were that "green" colour? Bit different and would make it much easier to keep it looking clean.
Just a thought...

[Skunk]

Gimp can do it but Photoshop (Mac or PC) is still King.

I have a new G5 tower and latest version of Adobe Creative Suite 2, which is Photoshop 9. Don't know of Gimp sorry.

It's an easy job - draw a path, make it a selection - and dick around with the Hue and saturation. job done.

Thats the story Mike..If in doubt,polish it..... It is probably easier for you to remove the casting letters,get a shop to polish them,then detail/finish them yourself...fwiw
