Tutorial: Airbrushed graphics
Program: This tutorial works with Adobe Photoshop - please note that some of the menu structures may vary from version to version. Introduction: Airbrushed graphics are not to everyone's taste, but you have to admit some cars with more wilder body styling deserve as equally wild paint jobs. This step by step tutorial goes some way to explain the basics of adding random airbrushed "murals" to your art work. Difficulty: 2/5 - Requires some experience of a few basic tools Last Update: 14th September 2006
Airbrushed Graphics  Difficulty - ***
		The first step, of course, is to load up the car you wish to add your airbrushed art to. The weapon of choice for this tutorial is an Infinity G35.
		Get your ass onto www.google.com and image search for large picture of whatever you want to be brushed down the side of your car. It's best if it's a cartoon picture or something along those lines, so look for something like: Anime Girls (watch out for porn!), Magna (again, watch out for porn!), Dragons, Fantasy, Japanese symbols etc. You even have another car on the side.. whatever you decide to use, ensure that it's nothing tacky! I went against my own advice... and found a lovely* anime angel... *Sarcasm...
		Hit Ctrl+T and then use the grab handles to flip, skew and change the shape of it to fit in with the car. Once you happy with it's positioning hit the enter key! In this case, I have flip it over (so that it is in the same direction of the car) and turned it slightly anti-clockwise.
		OK.. head for the layers box (lower right of the screen).. Ok, go down the list and pick yourself the layer style you prefer. (says normal on the example on the left). In this case, I selected "linear burn", but as mentioned, it dependant upon your personal preference, the colour of car and the image that you are adding! These layer styles help it to blend in with the bodywork better and remove any large white or black portions. If you have trouble removing all of the colours, use the lasso tool and delete key to remove the bits not required. The eraser tool is also a cool bit of kit. Use it to blend the 'brushing into the paintwork, or another picture. Whilst you are at this box, lower the opacity to about 80%. Hope I am making sense to you..
		It should look a bit like this. Now you need to remove the bits that overlap the door handles etc.. This is done with the lasso tool and delete key! You can also use the eraser (at the appropriate size) in areas you want to blend out....
		.. and that's it, complete!
