Big Red One · 08-08-2007, 09:07 PM

Oh man......

Ohhhhhh man..........

Getting excited about Crystal Blue!

I have been thinking that the car would look very good in Laguna Seca Blue. I loved that color on the E46 M3. Too bad that isn't even close to being an option.

Technoviolet was an M-color very hard to resell! Try Estoril Blue:

destruct007,

Thanks for posting the tutorial.

Long time photoshop user, have been working on my own color converions as well. I tried using your blue swatch (along with many of my own) and can not seem to get the rich blues you are getting once I set the blend mode to color. When I go to adjust the levels, I have only three lines on the histogram - obviously missing info. Can't figure out what it is. Any thoughts on the matter would be helpful - thank you!

all I'm doing is getting a super small sample of the most colorful/saturated section of the car from the screen grab. Then the levels middle arrow on the layer below, you can go into hue/saturation to edit the top color layer if you need to push it further in a direction. Otherwise don't know what to tell ya.

good luck

Very nice work! Are you a graphic designer man? I noticed you use terms like 'comp' haha. I think I like black or white the best (timeless) tho looking at your comps the light blue and the grey look great. and a distant third is the dark blue or crimson red (actually i hope it IS more orange).

However i dont like spending more on metallic colors so it will prob. be black or white for me.
