I got this directly from Google:
Got it from here, should help you more in the future.To use an image as a pattern, save it in the program "Patterns" folder (the path looks like C:\Program Files\Corel\Corel Paint Shop Pro X\Patterns\)
Basic Signature Tut (Photoshop only)
Here is my tutorial for making sigs that look like this.
First start your document with the desired size with a white background.
Open an image you want to use and carefully select it with the polygonal lasso tool.
Once you've finished selecting your image copy it and close that window. Then go to your signature window and paste it in.
Then duplicate the image several times (10 or 12 should do fine) and position the images so none of the white background layer shows through. Make sure you leave Layer 1 intact and turn it off.
With your images in place go to Filter -> Blur -> Motion Blur and enter the desired angle to compliment the direction of the scan you put into the image. Then set the blur length somewhere around 20-40 and click ok.
Now create a new layer and go to Image -> Apply Image and click ok. Now with this new layer still selected go to Filter -> Distort -> Ripple and set the amount to 500% and on leave it on Medium.
Then find a blending mode that looks good (I usually use Overlay) and play around with the opacity and fill settings and erase bits that don't look right.
(Eraser Photoshop CS2 only)
I find it best to use a random look with the eraser so it doesn't look so....bleh. Get your eraser and click the small arrow to bring up the brush window, then click the small triangle in the brush window and go to Reset Brushes. Afterwards scroll down and select the chalk brush. Then go over to the "Brushes" tab on the top right of the Photoshop window. Open it and adjust the settings in there to get a nice random look and then continue with erasing pieces of your signature.
(back to where we were)
Repeat the last step but use different Distort options or use go to the Brush Strokes section. Just play around until you get a nice effect that looks good and you're happy with.
Next get out a nice vintage brush or a tech brush or vector brush and choose two colors from your scan.
Select the darker color and brush in some designs on either side of your signature then set it to Soft Light or Overlay. Then get the lighter color and use a different vintage/tech/vector brush set and brush a couple more patterns on either side. Then set to Overlay or Soft Light like the last one.
If you don't get the desired effect there's always the history window to go back and and do something different. Play around with blending effects. Add gradient maps and so on until you get something that make YOU happy.
For a nice touch create a new layer and ctrl+a. Then go to Edit -> Stroke and set it to 1px, Inside, Black and click ok.
Have fun photoshopping.

Oooold tut I made on scanlines
First we open the image we want to apply scanlines to in Photoshop
Now we make a new document, 3x3 Pixels
Zoom in all the way and grab the Pencil Tool and make 3 diagonal squares
Then you go to Edit>Define Pattern and save it as "Scanlines"
Now we go back to image, go to "Add a Layer Style" (little black button with an F on it), and choose "Pattern Overlay". Then from the drop down menu select the pattern you just made (Do this to all layers neccesary)
Final Result:

You select the car body with the polygon lasso, the deselect things like windows,hood vents, lights, indicators, reflectors ect. Then you desaturate the selection making it black and white, the you can mess around with the hue/saturation. There aren't really any other ways of coloring a car. You could make a new layer over the whole picture and then delete the layer everywhere but the cars body. But that way really only works with white or silver cars.
@Jopuma: Very good tutorial and the result looks really good.

Or do it the "Gimp Way"harmv1234 wrote:how do u color a car? not the original way of lasso tool, paint bucket it then multiply.
Duplicate the layer, change the Hue/Sanitation of the new layer and erase out the parts you don't want colored... the unfortunatly takes a long time because you have to erase the background... Unless you only select a limited amount of the layer.

I messed up on something but Im not sure what Right after I do the feather it says CTRL+I and the delete key but when I hit the delete key it deletes almost the entire car so I can barely see anything of it :/Jopuma wrote:I got a pictoral tutorial done.
