No Idling. Shut engine off while parked.

LoL...showoff! I can't help it mine's a daily driver. Beautiful SVT you have there though!

How do you do that "sneak peak" with PS? Not that I have it, I was just wondering... Do you just take a pic with the hood closed and then with it up from the same angle or something?

hood close, picture.
hood open, picture.
same angle, use tripod.
layer photos, set closed hood as top/front layer, erase to expose motor.

 

[281Thunder]

Yep, just like he said. I'm using Photosuite...and it's called transparency instead.

 

[rollinstylee]

To clear up confusion, that's actually not my car 281Thunder. I wish! It was Rawburt's if you recognize the name. I just remembered those pics from a while ago because I had a bit of a thing for his car. No turbo for me.

 

[281Thunder]

Heh...yeah I recognize that now...dunno why I didn't.

 

[SLVRFRST]

the pics are nice...i like the ghost contour the most

 

[Recoveryone]

The blurr effect was a nice touch,with the T-bird ...lol surpirsed no one else caught it. Can you do the ghost one with more of a blurr effect as if the car was coming out of super sonic speed.

 

[281Thunder]

Yeah I used blur on the Tbird pic, and the first SVT pic too. I just wanted a subtle change to make the focus of the car stand out a little more. I've just started playing with it so I'm not too slick yet.
