Photoshop help?

[jtkkz]

Hello
Is there someone out there that can photoshop the porsche side script decal on my car.

I want to see it first before I purchase and place a decal on my car.

Thank You very much

[K. Roman]

I'll do it if you could find the sidescript and post that.

[jtkkz]

I am not sure where to find a pic of those decals online.

I will search online for some pics of black side scripts

thanks

Don't have time to do the photoshop right now, but here's a high-contrast image of the decal (taken from a parts website that sells them a while ago, sorry can't remember who/where).



In photoshop you can simply place it in as a new layer, resize it by selecting the area around it and using edit, free transform - you'll also need to rotate it a bit, likely (same, free transform) and maybe taper it (for images where the car is angled) - also using the free transform. You can change the colour too with the colour replacer, or faster with the paintbrush or paintcan filler. Photoshop makes it easy because the decal is a layer in itself.

Hope this helps - I'll do a photoshop later tonight or tomorrow if nobody else does before.

Oh, and use the magic wand tool to select the white background and delete it, so all you're left with is the "carrera".

Sorry that got posted twice - it was supposed to be edited, not reposted - read the 2nd, not the first.

Thank You, but I am looking for the correct year Porsche side script in black

"PORSCHE"

thanks

I don't have photoshop, but here is the script you are looking for:

[Christien]

Crap, sorry for being an idiot. Here's one with the correct script.



Here's the template I used:


Hope this helps.

Hey Christien, how do you make the layer 'see through' for only the script?

[jtkkz]

Thank You

[Christien]

jtkkz:

No problem - anytime. Sorry I don't have time right now to do the other one.

911FL:
When you paste something into a document, it automatically creates a new layer and pastes the clipboard contents into a new layer. The background of this layer is by default transparent. Open the layer window (window menu, layers) and you'll see the small icon of the layers - the new layer has a checkered background - this indicates transparency. If it doesn't have the transparent background by default, (CE (version 7) does by default so I'm assuming other versions will) click where it says the layer name (default is "layer 1") and choose "layer properties" then "none" for color.

From there, I use the magic wand tool to select the white background of the decal image, then just delete what gets selected leaving only the letters.

Does that explain ok? Sorry if that's really verbose, just wanted to make sure I explained as well as possible.

On the same topic, if anyone is good with changing colours of things (like cars) I'd love to know your tricks. I'm appalingly bad at that. (Useful for deciding what colours to paint rooms in the house, too.)

i think it would look better without the rocker deco

[Jack Olsen]

I'm not very good at Photoshop, but this version shows the decal closer to its correct proportions:



Edit: derek murray beat me to it.

[Christien]

Thanks Derek and Jack for the correction - here's another shot at it with better proportions, though I still screwed up the right end where the E overlaps the door seam:

Thanks Christien! Got it to work just fine.

i think those would look great on your car john but then again i shouldn't be a surprise.
here's a pic from a car advertised as a low mileage all original 67S on ebay a few years back:

What years was that script used?
