Car photography is now taken as a hobby to those who have a
passion for cars.
Actually, you can’t find anyone without attraction for
automobiles. Especially to rich people, they have been nurtured with craziness
for automobiles.
When social media takes all the attention of people to
express their thoughts and emotions in every single moment. Automobile owners
are making their day by showing off with the image of their cars on social
media.
At the time of uploading car images in social media profiles like Facebook or Instagram, it needs to edit to get a perfect look like other photographs.
Because without editing, car images look grimy and reeky.
Here comes the necessity of editing car photos. As it is a personal issue, you
have to edit pictures by yourself because you can’t hire experts to edit just
one of your images.
Although, it is almost better to have the technique of
editing your own picture. Once you have got it, you will be able to apply any
type of effect and change in your pictures as you want to look at them.
In this article, we are going to show some different techniques through which you can edit your own car photos. Here are the details below,
Whereas we are here to know about car photo editing, we
would like to tell you to do this job in two different ways. One is manually
where you have to use some complex editing software like
Photoshop or Lightroom to edit your car image accurately.
On the other hand, you can also do this beautiful task
automatically by using exclusive apps that can do a complete retouch for your
car image.
Before going to the exact decision of using one of them,
let’s give me the opportunity to describe those two different editing processes
for you.
Then you would choose the better one for your purpose.
What did I tell you before? You can edit your car photo in
two ways, well, this is the manual process of car photo editing that you can do
with Photoshop.
Photoshop is an extreme photo editing software that will let
you bring any types of effective changes in your image. But first, you have to
know the technique of using Photoshop and also the way you can edit your car
pictures with this.
Ok, we’re describing here step by step about the same,
First of all, you need Photoshop software and the image that
you want to edit, both should keep ready on your device. Photoshop is paid
software that charges its users on a monthly basis. If you already have it,
then open the software.
Go to File > click Open > choose the selective image
Look at the image below, I am using this Bugatti Chiron car
image to show you the process, take whatever you want as yours.
When the car image is ready with your Photoshop window,
click on the layer of your image and press Ctrl + J to copy your image
layer. Then lock on the background layer as a backup.
Then select the Pen tool from the toolbar or press P on your
keyboard as a shortcut to activate it. On the above of the Photoshop window, you will find an icon that is like the settings
icon of a mobile named Rubberband.
Click on the icon to see where the proximate puff of the pen the tool is going.
Now start to select the car body except the ground part that
we did here below in the image.
After selection, you have clicked on the right button of
your mouse in the selection area. It will show you an options menu from where
you will have to choose (Make Selection).
It will convert the path into a selection. Then go to the layer panel and press the channel option. You can see that your selection will turn into an alpha channel like this,
While the selection is active, you can perform any color-changing task within the selective car image area. To bring your desired color
to your car image, you should create a hue/saturation layer by clicking on the
circle icon under the layer panel.
Choose the option (Hue/Saturation)
After clicking on Hue/Saturation you will find a custom colorize option on your window like this,
From the color bar of the left side, you can color your selective part of the car as you want. Look, I already turn my black car into a red one. It’s too easy as you need to just locate the pointer of the color bar in your determined color.
Now make sure your layer mask is selected, then press B and
have a black brush selected.
Now, we are going too roughly to go over those parts we don’t want to include in our coloring processes like headlight, windshield, bumper, seat frame, number plate, and the brand logo of the car to make the car image more realistic.
In any specific case, you will have to use the lasso tool and pen tool to do the erasing process more precisely. You will also have to adjust your brush size to erase some subtle parts accurately.
You should do all the process of coloring perfectly because
by doing in that way, your picture will look more natural and effective.
This is the process of editing your car image with Photoshop that can be used for any type of car image. With this technique, you can easily turn the color of your car into another one you want to like to look at.
