FAQ's


Here are the answers to the most popular questions I get from visitors

Can you put my car on Digimods please?
As much as I'd love to feature a few other people's cars on Digimods, I really cant due to Bandwidth increase on my hosting account. The solution to this, and if you really want to show the world your creations, the forum is a great place to start. It's easy to sign up, and post your work for feedback or help and advice.

Which version of Photoshop is best?
As with most things, the newest version will always be the best. I personally use Photoshop 7.0, but its all dependant on what you can afford.

Can you use any any other graphics programs to do this?
I'm not saying you can't as a lot of people use Paint shop Pro to do Digimods. There are several other cheap graphics programs that you can use, but I have no experience other than with Photoshop, so I wont be able to offer you help or advice on how to use them! The Digimods Tutorials are specifically written for use with Photoshop.. and to my knowledge cant really be adapted healthily for use with other programs.

When will the other Tutorials be added?
Arggh this is always asked.. lol. I find it hard to find spare time nowadays to even work on my own Digimoded cars, let alone to write tutorials. I find the odd spare day from time to time, so that's when I try to make up a few. I apologize for any delays anyway.

How can I design my own Bodykit?
If you can't tell your Dodge Tool from your Airbrush Tool, or don't have a real understanding of reflections, colours, shadows and highlights.. then you'll find this really hard. It takes time, practice and extreme patience to get some excellent results. I'm still working at this, and as yet find it hard to write a tutorial for it as there are loads of different methods for different situations. My first suggestion is to make a new layer, and, using the line tool, start to design a bodykit with it. Once you are happy, fill in the gaps with the airbrush tool with the correct colours.. These colours can be referenced from the surrounding bodywork. You'll be a few hours just making up the colours for the bumper.
 
Will you please Digimod my own car?
I don't mind doing this, as long as you send me HIGH resolution images, at good angles... and if I'm interested in doing it, I may consider it.. lol.

When I go to copy a selection, it comes up with "Could not complete the copy command because the selected area is empty". Why is this?
This is due to the fact that you are trying to copy something that isn't on the layer you are currently on. You can try clicking on a layer behind, or you can flatten all your layers by hitting Ctrl+Shift+E.
