Well, policy on "photoshopping" cars has become strickter lately, so this kind of effect might fall under "edited-too-much" category. Dunno. Mods?

What size? 1024*768?? If it's bigger or lower than 800*600 you cannot upload it

WOW

Can I copy your showroom-style idea?

jemc · Post by **jemc** » 17 Apr 2005, 19:24

it's probablly because the car doesn't take 50% or more of the whole image

Read the rules of da uploading

Here are they:

Sorry 'bout the 1024*768

mods explain why

Mephisto1 · Post by **Mephisto1** » 17 Apr 2005, 20:03

@ Twin Turbo:
the size is 800x600,
the fileformat is jpg,
The Pic of the car was tken from the Game (Customitze menue)
the car is more than 50% of the Image widh---
-but maybe not 50% of the image is filled with a car

and The Appearance of the car is Not changed, you can see the orginal Color and no Rims are "Whitened" by using big Contrast - the only that is a bit changed is the lightfall on the car - this changes a bit the upper color of the car - but nothing more is done to the car :ergo: no changing of colors and/or contrast Improvement

PS editing is allready fully accepted (only Showroom Challages not, what is good)

I try to add some other views to it, maybe the is get accepted

@ ^Sparco^ - when i Post this Pic (in this or some other verion on the Site) then you can use the Idea, but the First "Shoot" is mine

Mephisto1 · Post by **Mephisto1** » 17 Apr 2005, 20:19

btw: take a look at "nicole_d_6" rx8 - the first one, with the blue Background - this car is (as i think) great, but it also do not takes the 50% of the pic, as some other cars, by some other (tuners ) members

Twinturbo · Post by **Twinturbo** » 17 Apr 2005, 20:23

I don't know why ask an admin!

^Sparco^ · Post by **^Sparco^** » 17 Apr 2005, 20:24

your car is +50% widht... so it should be 'legal'

It is not +50% height though....

Triskac · Post by **Triskac** » 17 Apr 2005, 20:24

hehe stretch it

Twinturbo · Post by **Twinturbo** » 17 Apr 2005, 20:27

I think it's "too simple" coz you cannot se the front and the rear parts of the car

Mephisto1 · Post by **Mephisto1** » 17 Apr 2005, 20:29

ito be clear, i dont want nicoles car to be rejected when she uploades the next. - its a Showroom, and a Showroom needs to look "CoOoOoL" and she makes really Cool cars.

I try to add some other Views on the pic, maybe then it will be accepted (but of course, the whole pres. and effect is going down :'-( )

but anyone can use this pic i submitted here as a Wallpaper

And there is something more i noticed just a second ago: when you take a simple "not edited" garage pic whrere the car is shown from the front/left , i noticed that this car also does not have the 50% height and /or widh

So this all is a bit strange, but i dont wanna trouble with the admins, so i uploaded a new version, maybe this one reaches my garage

Mephisto1 · Post by **Mephisto1** » 17 Apr 2005, 20:56

(since i edited the last post 3 times now, i make a new one

)

It would be nice if an Admin give me some Simple Answer - so i will not make the same mistake again

Twinturbo · Post by **Twinturbo** » 18 Apr 2005, 14:59

50 % of a pic filled with car ?? NOT!! You have to see the 50% of the car!

Post by **Bojan** » 18 Apr 2005, 16:13

Light image editing is allowed (brightness and contrast improveement) as long as it doesn't change the overall appearance of the car.

How many times do I need to repeat myself that this is a NFSU2 car showroom, not a "show your photoshop" skills gallery.

wowirace · Post by **wowirace** » 18 Apr 2005, 22:20

but it goes in accordance with the rules...because it doesn't "change the overall appearance of the car." the car has all the same vinyls, bodykits, whatever, and there is nothing changed on the car...just a spotlight show kinda thing. and there's no rule that says you cant do that. [is there?]

Triskac · Post by **Triskac** » 18 Apr 2005, 22:22

heyy dont u want to make there "show your photoshop skills" gallery too ?

I think what Bojan is saying is that image is more about the overall artistic look and not the car, and to some extent I'd agree there.

Bojan

Sorry, this is/was right untill the first car Appeared that had PS-Work in it.

Take a look at all the users that have only Edited Cars in her Garages: you will notice that only these kind of cars are favourite to someone.

Take a look a enzo.ph nicole d 6 and all the other PS-Workers -allmost every of their cars has 5+ favourites, and not because the cars are Brilliant - but cause they are brilliant in the Combination with the Presenation. - if you put a Perfect Car on a Simple garage Pic - then no One gets nearly a 8 in the entire showroom.

So i think that these : no showing of PS skills is a good start to the next showroom of juiced or the next NFS-version (but i said something like that in some other topic) -for this showroom its too late - and you have to agree - if you will or not, the other way, is to review all the cars once again, and delete the PS-edited cars.

Post by **TheStig** » 21 Apr 2005, 02:15

can you explain WHY you made 2 times the same type of topic???

Mephisto1 · Post by **Mephisto1** » 21 Apr 2005, 13:40

@ THE Stig

Of course i can:
with the first topic (this one), i saw at the end that my car is not visible enough, and may be to small (in the pic) for the showroom, so i changed it after i got a real answer- and the car has been allowed.

After the reejection of the evo (witch is normal of view , big and visible enough to be allowed( from my point of view) ) i started a new topic cause i think that your guys are allowing the cars in two different ways.

You allow:

--whitened rims
--X-box vinyls (custom/PS made)
--decals on places on the car witch the game not allow (the orange Nissan 350z and one other that had decals on the hood)
--to dark cars in too dark envoirment - that is really hard to see the car
--(and if i remember the right way) - black hoods
--AND dont allow a small light & shadow play,witch even does not changes the appearance of the car -
and this is something i cannot understand (really cannot understand)

Thats why i started the second one- cause i thought the mistake from the first pic was cleared. So the other topic is for somethig different - from my sight

mephisto, youre making a flagpole out of a matchstick!

and yes, i agree with the admin rejecting your car's presentation cause the backgroud (the lights) is driving more attention than the foreground (the car)

and bear in mind that most PS-ing effects are becoming less and less accepted since not everybody has those skills, and everybody should be put at the same level of judgement...

[edit] oh yes.. i cannot think of a car being "ejected" !!!
