Photoshop help needed- color combos
Ok, I need one talented/bored photoshop expert to help me out in chosing a color combo for my fan/shoud.
The motor is coming out next week and I figured I'd send the parts to a local powdercoater. I've narrowed my choices down to the following combos, but I am certainly open to new/better ideas from anyone. Choices: Ruby red metallic fan w/ silver metallic shroud Ruby red metallic fan w/ black shroud Ruby red metallic fan w/ gold metallic shroud Gold metallic fan w/ silver metallic shroud Gold metallic fan w/ black shroud Keep in mind my body color is black. I want to see a picture so bad, I even went to Barnes & Noble's to find "Photoshop for Dummies" but they did not have a copy. If someone could use the picture here to change the colors I'd really appreciate it.

There are a couple of tricky "masks" to draw to do the color changes you are asking so it is not a quick and dirty job. I cannot do it at work but if no one has by this evening I'll give it a shot.

Metalic gold? Of your choices, I would go with the Ruby Red fan and silver shroud. Sorry, I am the villiage idiot with computors so I can not help with the photoshop.
 Cheers

Thanks, Gary.
Also, if someone could just point me to some directions, I may even be able to figure it out on my own. I have Photoshop 7.0. Good greif, is it a complicated monster or what?

Yes, PS is quite a beast to learn but very cool once you get the hang of it. The only book I ever found useful was Photoshop Bible by Deke McClelland. Humongous book and way beyond what most beginners need to know.
stand by....

I ran across a photo of someone's motor with the ruby red/silver shroud.
I like it, I just wonder if it'd look a little odd on a black car? Perhaps, someone can make the car black in this photo?  Thanks for hooking it up, Gary. You should see the mess I'm making right now in Photoshop.

Gary, thanks for taking the time to color the fan for me. I think I'll go with the ruby red, if the powdercoaters can get the shade I want. But I still think the gold would look good.
I think I should have clarified on the fan shroud. I meant the fan housing... I don't know why I call it a shroud. Thanks again! Oh, and here's where I got the idea for the gold fan from:  It's from a factory poster. Speaking of posters... it's getting a little out of control over here...  Mark, your motor is looking terrific! It's going to look great once you get it in.
