Me too.

Draw paths around the areas and make them selections rather than just selecting areas.

Use the adjustments menu to manipulate areas when selected.

Layers are our friends.

Yeah im the hugest nOOb to this stuff.

I've been trying to make this bike a gloss black with white number boards.

Can you do it for me? ya know.... just to prove its possible...

dunno about CS, but there's a magnet lasso tool on photoshop normal that'll conform (if you want it to) to the lines of a picture. makes for easy editing.

Found out I only had Illustrator on this computer. It's different. Too different...

It's actually pretty difficult. If the bike is all one colour you can manipulate it by the channels and it's 5 minutes. not possible with such contrasts to start with.

more time/effort than that resolution image justifies. to do a publication quality job on a hires would be 2-3 hours.
