what i meant was that I am ofter to be carless with photoshop - and even when I cared, I often did not understand how to make it all look real. Because I worked this chop manually in MS Paint, I realized what goes into making the chop realistic and undetectable
(all the changes I made were somewhat detailed - RWD front overhand, cutlines, taillights, spoiler, antenna, lowerred, etc ... big changes like changing the color of the car or the proportions cannot be done in MS Paint, but I believe it was a lesson learned, that will carry me when doing all these advanced things in PS)
Look at the attached picture - it is a result of more playing around after I sent in the chop for the compatition. In PS I would have tried bezel or something to make the chop of the rear windown, and would have never achieved the results as I did with the MS Paint, where I went pixel by pixel and made sure it looked right. I know the car looks off with that window - I saw that - but the window looks real - and it was all created - not pasted from some other picture.
I know - I am trying to make a virtue out of a vice - my PS computer is not online, and the whole week I could not find any of my USB keys to transfer the picture there and the result back to my laptop - so I was stuck with MS Paint - but I realized how much I could do with enough attention to detail.
