So get a image of a car which is easy to work with and such as the one below and lets get photoshop chopping!<span id="more-181"></span><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-179" title="mercedes-benz" src="http://www.photoshopcartutorials.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/mercedes-benz.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="299" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.photoshopcartutorials.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/mercedes-benz.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-180 aligncenter" title="mercedes-benz-fin-crash" src="http://www.photoshopcartutorials.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/mercedes-benz-fin-crash.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="282" /></a></p>
<p>Ok grab the doge tool <img class="alignnone" title="Doge Tool" src="http://www.photoshopcartutorials.com/images/photoshop-tool-images/Untitled-5_17.gif" alt="" width="38" height="25" /> and start to &#8220;rub&#8221; it around the bonnet and side of the car like the image below.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.photoshopcartutorials.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/2mercedes-benz.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-166" title="2mercedes-benz" src="http://www.photoshopcartutorials.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/2mercedes-benz.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="299" /></a></p>
<p>Ok Now with the <img class="alignnone" title="Lasso Tool" src="http://www.photoshopcartutorials.com/images/photoshop-tool-images/Untitled-5_06.gif" alt="" width="38" height="22" /> polygon lasso tool select out the front grill of the car.</p>

<p>Use the Warp Tool Edit&gt;&gt;Transform&gt;&gt;Warp and mangle the front grill to make it look like the driver has hit a poll.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.photoshopcartutorials.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/4mercedes-benz.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-168" title="4mercedes-benz" src="http://www.photoshopcartutorials.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/4mercedes-benz.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="282" /></a></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Use the <img class="alignnone" title="Lasso Tool" src="http://www.photoshopcartutorials.com/images/photoshop-tool-images/Untitled-5_06.gif" alt="" width="38" height="22" /> Polygon lasso Tool and select the front number plate out.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.photoshopcartutorials.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/5mercedes-benz.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-169" title="5mercedes-benz" src="http://www.photoshopcartutorials.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/5mercedes-benz.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="259" /></a></p>
<p>Again with the warp tool Edit&gt;&gt;Transform&gt;&gt;Warp. Warp the Number plate. like the image below.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.photoshopcartutorials.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/6mercedes-benz.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-170" title="6mercedes-benz" src="http://www.photoshopcartutorials.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/6mercedes-benz.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="299" /></a></p>
<p>Now go ahead and select the bumper bar with the <img class="alignnone" title="Lasso Tool" src="http://www.photoshopcartutorials.com/images/photoshop-tool-images/Untitled-5_06.gif" alt="" width="38" height="22" /> Polygon lasso Tool</p>
<p><a href="http://www.photoshopcartutorials.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/7mercedes-benz.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-171" title="7mercedes-benz" src="http://www.photoshopcartutorials.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/7mercedes-benz.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="234" /></a></p>
<p>Use the Warp Tool again and warp the front bumper bar Edit&gt;&gt;Transform&gt;&gt;Warp.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.photoshopcartutorials.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/8mercedes-benz-copy.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-172" title="8mercedes-benz-copy" src="http://www.photoshopcartutorials.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/8mercedes-benz-copy.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="299" /></a></p>
<p>Now we have to damage the front right head light (head lamp) so select the main image and go to Filter&gt;&gt;Lquifiy. edit the headlight similar to the image below.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.photoshopcartutorials.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/9mercedes-benz-copy.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-173" title="9mercedes-benz-copy" src="http://www.photoshopcartutorials.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/9mercedes-benz-copy.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="279" /></a></p>
<p>Ok now with the <img class="alignnone" title="Lasso Tool" src="http://www.photoshopcartutorials.com/images/photoshop-tool-images/Untitled-5_06.gif" alt="" width="38" height="22" /> Polygon lasso Tool select the front wheel and copy past (Ctrl + C Ctrl + V) then with the Warp Tool warp the wheel so it appears flat.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.photoshopcartutorials.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/10mercedes-benz-copy.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-174" title="10mercedes-benz-copy" src="http://www.photoshopcartutorials.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/10mercedes-benz-copy.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="319" /></a></p>
<p>Select the front car door with the <img class="alignnone" title="Lasso Tool" src="http://www.photoshopcartutorials.com/images/photoshop-tool-images/Untitled-5_06.gif" alt="" width="38" height="22" /> Polygon lasso Tool  and then change the hue setting by pressing &#8220;Ctrl + u&#8221; change the color of the door.</p>

<p>Now do the same to the front bonnet. Make the Bonnet Gray.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.photoshopcartutorials.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/12mercedes-benz-copy.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-176" title="12mercedes-benz-copy" src="http://www.photoshopcartutorials.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/12mercedes-benz-copy.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="299" /></a></p>
<p>Now we are going to take the windows out of the car. So Select the windows out of the car then copy some of the background and past it over where the windows were.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.photoshopcartutorials.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/13mercedes-benz-copy.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-177" title="13mercedes-benz-copy" src="http://www.photoshopcartutorials.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/13mercedes-benz-copy.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="245" /></a></p>

<p align="left"><img src="../images/advanced-tutorials-images/hover-car/Toyota.jpg" alt="original image" width="500" height="288" /></p>
<p align="left"> </p>
<p align="left">Get the <img src="../images/photoshop-tool-images/clone stamp.gif" alt="Clone Stamp Tool" width="38" height="25" />clone stamp tool and start getting rid of the wheels.</p>
<p align="left"> </p>
<p align="left"><img src="../images/advanced-tutorials-images/hover-car/clone-stamp.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="290" /></p>
<p align="left"> </p>
<p align="left">Remove all the wheeels like the image below.</p>
<p align="left"> </p>
<p align="left"><img src="../images/advanced-tutorials-images/hover-car/no-wheels.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="290" /></p>
<p align="left"> </p>
<p align="left">Then with the <img src="../images/photoshop-tool-images/polygon lasso tool.gif" alt="polygon lasso tool" width="25" height="20" />polygon lasso tool go round the wheel arches.</p>
<p align="left"><img src="../images/advanced-tutorials-images/hover-car/select.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="388" /></p>
<p align="left"> </p>
<p align="left">Your Photoshoped car should look something like this now. No wheels and the wheel arches should be black</p>
<p align="left"> </p>
<p align="left"><img src="../images/advanced-tutorials-images/hover-car/hover-car-soon.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="291" /></p>
<p align="left"> </p>
<p align="left">Grab a jet engine like this one and with the <img src="../images/photoshop-tool-images/polygon lasso tool.gif" alt="polygon lasso tool" width="25" height="20" />polygon lasso tool select just the intake and the blue area. (Reference the image down 2)</p>
<p align="left"> </p>
<p align="left"><img src="../images/advanced-tutorials-images/hover-car/engine.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></p>
<p align="left"> </p>
<p align="left">Move your jet engine over the wheel arch.</p>
<p align="left"> </p>
<p align="left"><img src="../images/advanced-tutorials-images/hover-car/engine-on-car.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="289" /></p>
<p align="left"> </p>
<p align="left">Go to menu Edit&gt;&gt;Transform&gt;&gt;Sale and move the engine in to alignment to what your happy with.</p>
<p align="left"> </p>
<p align="left"><img src="../images/advanced-tutorials-images/hover-car/eng-mod.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="292" /></p>
<p align="left"> </p>
<p align="left">In Photoshop Go to menu Edit&gt;&gt;Transform&gt;&gt;Warp and warp the engine into place.</p>
<p align="left"> </p>
<p align="left"><img src="../images/advanced-tutorials-images/hover-car/warp.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="292" /></p>
<p align="left"> </p>
<p align="left">Remember once you have warped it just clean up the excess edges with the <img src="../images/photoshop-tool-images/polygon lasso tool.gif" alt="polygon lasso tool" width="25" height="20" />polygon lasso tool.</p>
<p align="left"> </p>
<p align="left"><img src="../images/advanced-tutorials-images/hover-car/edge-clean.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="373" /></p>
<p align="left"> </p>
<p align="left">Now repeat that set with the rear wheels arch. You will notice that I have changed the color of the jet engine. Select your jet engine (if it is a different color) and then press Ctrl + U and change the hue of the engine till it matches your color.</p>
<p align="left"> </p>
<p align="left"><img src="../images/advanced-tutorials-images/hover-car/finbeta.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="288" /></p>
<p align="left"> </p>
<p align="left">Now you photshoped image should look like this. Again with the <img src="../images/photoshop-tool-images/polygon lasso tool.gif" alt="polygon lasso tool" width="25" height="20" />polygon lasso tool go around the car and put your car on a nice background image like mine below.</p>
<p align="left">
<p align="left"> </p>

<p align="left">With the <img src="../images/photoshop-tool-images/polygon lasso tool.gif" alt="polygon lasso tool" width="25" height="20" />polygon lasso tool zoom in and go around selecting half the car like the image below.</p>
<p align="left">
<img src="../images/intermediate-tutorial-images/custom-paint/selectchev.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="271" /></p>
<p align="left">
Once half the car is selected, grab the<img src="../images/photoshop-tool-images/elliptical marquee tool.gif" alt="elliptical marquee tool" width="38" height="20" /> Elliptical marquee tool and also select Add selection button<img src="../images/photoshop-tool-images/addselection.gif" alt="Add selection Button" width="20" height="20" />. Now you should be able to draw circles half over your previse selection so u will get half circles instead of a straight line. (Follow image below)</p>
<p><img src="../images/intermediate-tutorial-images/custom-paint/selectchev-v2.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="296" /></p>
<p align="left"> </p>
<p align="left"> </p>
<p align="left">Once you have make your selection press Ctrl + C then Ctrl + V to copy the selected area to a new layer. Then press Ctrl + U to bring up the Hue/Saturation Panel. Now depending on the color of your car u might what to do the hue differently. (Copy my Hue and Saturation settings below).</p>
<p align="left"> </p>
<p align="left"><img src="../images/intermediate-tutorial-images/custom-paint/chevhue.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="450" /></p>
<p align="left"> </p>
<p align="left">Now that&#8217;s done we have a small problem the lights and badge have changed color. So again making sure u still have the Add selection button <img src="../images/photoshop-tool-images/addselection.gif" alt="Add selection Button" width="20" height="20" /> pressed selected the unwanted areas with that <img src="../images/photoshop-tool-images/polygon lasso tool.gif" alt="polygon lasso tool" width="25" height="20" />polygon lasso tool then hit the delete button.</p>
<p><img src="../images/intermediate-tutorial-images/custom-paint/select-lights-chev.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="320" /></p>
<p align="left"> </p>
<p align="left">And your done you should have something like this. Remember you can use the same techniques to do all kinds of paint jobs on your car.</p>
<p align="left"> </p>
<p align="left"><img src="../images/intermediate-tutorial-images/custom-paint/finchev.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="217" /></p>

<p align="left"> </p>
<p align="left">With your image open in Photoshop go to the menu Filter&gt;&gt;Render&gt;&gt;Lens Flair. then a window should pop up (image below). No in the option select 105mm prime with 85% brightest and with your mouse move the light over the headlight of the car then click ok.</p>

<p align="left"> </p>
<p align="left">You should have one light working now. So repeat the last step and do it with the other side. Your finished image should look a little something like (image below).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today we are going to removing the tail light color off a car. This tutorial is simple but can make a world of difference to your finial product.<span id="more-82"></span></p>
<p align="left"><img src="../images/beginner-tutorial-images/remove tail light color/wrx.jpg" alt="photoshop tutoril tail light" width="500" height="375" /></p>
<p align="left"> </p>
<p align="left"> </p>
<p align="left">Ok the above image in Photoshop or a car of your choice. We are going to be using the <img src="../images/photoshop-tool-images/polygon lasso tool.gif" alt="polygon lasso tool" width="25" height="20" />polygon lasso tool to select the tail lights.</p>
<p align="left"><img src="../images/beginner-tutorial-images/remove tail light color/tail light select.jpg" alt="Select tail Light Tool" width="500" height="303" /></p>
<p align="left"> </p>
<p align="left">Follow the out line of the tail light to get a similar selection with the <img src="../images/photoshop-tool-images/polygon lasso tool.gif" alt="polygon lasso tool" width="25" height="20" />polygon lasso tool.</p>
<p align="left"> </p>
<p align="left"><img src="../images/beginner-tutorial-images/remove tail light color/tail light selected.jpg" alt="Select Finish" width="500" height="308" /></p>
<p align="left"> </p>
<p align="left">Now while the light is selected press Ctrl + U and the hue/saturation panel should come up. I have selected saturation - 100 and lightness -48 to give a dark grey look.</p>
<p align="left">
<p align="left"><img src="../images/beginner-tutorial-images/remove tail light color/hue selection.jpg" alt="Hue Photoshop Tool" width="500" height="301" /></p>
<p align="left">
<p align="left">Now do that same with the other side of the car and you should have something that looks like the image below. If you wanted to change the color of the light instead of moving the saturation and lightness just move the hue levels and you should get different colors</p>
<p align="left"> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I’m going to show you how to lower a car using Photoshop. I will be using a Cadillac-escalade to demon straight how to do this so copy the one below or use a car photo of your own choice.<span id="more-78"></span></p>
<p align="left"> </p>
<p align="left"><img src="../images/beginner-tutorial-images/lower car/2007-cadillac-escalade.jpg" alt="Original Image Tutorial" width="500" height="341" /></p>
<p align="left"> </p>
<p align="left">So open up your car image in Photoshop and select the <img src="../images/photoshop-tool-images/polygon lasso tool.gif" alt="polygon lasso tool" width="25" height="20" />polygon lasso tool. We are going to be selecting the top half of the car. Follow the image below remember to select around the body work.</p>
<p align="left">
<p align="left"><img src="../images/beginner-tutorial-images/lower car/cartutorialselected.jpg" alt="Select top of car" width="500" height="314" /></p>
<p align="left"> </p>
<p align="left">Once you have selected the car and the top half of the image. Then go ahead and press Ctrl + c and then Ctrl + v to create a new layer. Now simply press the down arrow key or drag your layer down giving the car a lowered appearance.</p>
<p align="left"> </p>
<p align="left"> </p>
<p align="left"><img src="../images/beginner-tutorial-images/lower car/carlowed.jpg" alt="Move and Lower car" width="500" height="339" /></p>
<p align="left"> </p>
<p align="left"> </p>
<p align="left"> </p>
<p align="left"> </p>
<p align="left">So now we have lowed the car, depending on how far you lower it will determine weather or not you have to do this next step. Look closely and you will see the body of the car now goes over the wheel and the image shows the old image be hind it (shown by the line up the top).</p>
<p align="left"> </p>
<p align="left">So to fix this we need to hide our lowered layer and select the while with the <img src="../images/photoshop-tool-images/polygon lasso tool.gif" alt="polygon lasso tool" width="25" height="20" />polygon lasso tool. Then delete the over lap off the lowered layer. <strong>View the animated image below to get a better under standing.</strong></p>
<p align="left"> </p>
<p align="left"><img src="../images/beginner-tutorial-images/lower car/carlowermove.gif" alt="Select Car tire" width="500" height="317" /></p>
<p align="left"> </p>
<p align="left"> </p>
<p align="left">Ok now you have done that do the same to the rear wheel and then we will crop the image to get rid off all the left overs. So use the crop tool <img src="../images/photoshop-tool-images/cropbtn.gif" alt="Crop Tool" width="26" height="20" />and select around the car and then hit enter and it will crop.</p>
<p align="left"><img src="../images/beginner-tutorial-images/lower car/cropcar.jpg" alt="Crop Image" width="500" height="346" /></p>
<p align="left">After you have done that it should all look like this.</p>
<p align="left">
<p align="left"><img src="../images/beginner-tutorial-images/lower car/escaladelowerd.jpg" alt="Tutorial Image Finish" width="486" height="311" /></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is an intermediate Photoshop tutorial. I will show you how to add an intercooler to any car or truck.<span id="more-74"></span></p>
<p align="center"> </p>
<p align="center"><img src="../images/intermediate-tutorial-images/intercooler-photoshop-tutorial/Intercooler.jpg" alt="Intercooler" width="500" height="377" /></p>
<p align="center"> </p>
<p align="center">So grab your self an image of an intercooler and a car.</p>
<p align="center"> </p>
<p align="center"><img src="../images/intermediate-tutorial-images/intercooler-photoshop-tutorial/Mazda-RX-8.jpg" alt="Mazda Original Image" width="500" height="292" /></p>
<p align="center"> </p>
<p align="center">Get your <img src="../images/photoshop-tool-images/polygon lasso tool.gif" alt="polygon lasso tool" width="25" height="20" />polygon lasso tool and select around the intercooler.</p>
<p align="center"><img src="../images/intermediate-tutorial-images/intercooler-photoshop-tutorial/intercooler-select-clear.jpg" alt="Select tool photoshop" width="500" height="194" /></p>
<p align="center"> </p>
<p align="center">Once selected (copy and past) Ctrl + C then Ctrl + V onto your car image (making sure it&#8217;s on a new layer)</p>
<p align="center"> </p>
<p align="center"><img src="../images/intermediate-tutorial-images/intercooler-photoshop-tutorial/intercooler-past.jpg" alt="Past Image tutorial" width="500" height="292" /></p>
<p align="center"> </p>
<p align="center">Get the scale tool from menu Edit&gt;&gt; Transform&gt;&gt;Scale and scale the intercooler into place. Remember we will be cutting off the sides of the intercooler (look at bottom image to see final view</p>
<p align="center"> </p>
<p align="center"><img src="../images/intermediate-tutorial-images/intercooler-photoshop-tutorial/intercooler-cut.jpg" alt="Scale Image photoshop" width="500" height="291" /></p>
<p align="center"> </p>
<p align="center">Once the intercooler is in place you need to hide the layer and select around the cars intake.</p>
<p align="center"><img src="../images/intermediate-tutorial-images/intercooler-photoshop-tutorial/selecte-car-intake.jpg" alt="Select Tool Photoshop" width="500" height="312" /></p>
<p align="center">Then in the layers panel unhide the layer with the intercooler over the intake and go to menu Select&gt;&gt;Inverse the press the delete key. And this should make you car look like the intercooler fits..</p>
<p align="center"><img src="../images/intermediate-tutorial-images/intercooler-photoshop-tutorial/select fit.jpg" alt="Past Intercooler" width="500" height="307" /></p>
<p align="center"> </p>
<p align="center">Then it’s just a case of changing the opacity (located on the layer panel) to make the intercooler darker or lighter. Done!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I’m going to show you how to make a car into a &#8220;cartoon&#8221; car. This tutorial is for advanced Photoshop users. So get an image or use the one below.<span id="more-72"></span></p>
<p align="left"><img src="../images/advanced-tutorials-images/funny car/Porsche.jpg" alt="Original Tutorial Image" width="500" height="236" /></p>
<p align="left"> </p>
<p align="left">With your <img src="../images/photoshop-tool-images/rectangle marquee tool.gif" alt="rectangular marquee tool" width="33" height="23" />rectangular marquee tool select a wheel then press Ctrl + C then Ctrl + v that will give one wheel a new layer do the same the other wheel (look to image below) . (You should have 3 layer you car and two wheels).</p>
<p align="left"> </p>
<p align="left">
<p align="left"><img src="../images/advanced-tutorials-images/funny car/selectporshe.jpg" alt="Select Image Photoshop Tool" width="500" height="242" /></p>
<p align="left"> </p>
<p align="left">Once you have make new layers of the wheels click on, one of your wheel layers and go to Edit&gt;&gt;Transform&gt;&gt;Scale and set the width and height to 125% (making the wheel larger) do this for the other wheel. Your car should look like the image below.</p>
<p align="left"> </p>
<p align="left"> </p>
<p align="left"><img src="../images/advanced-tutorials-images/funny car/largewheelporshe.jpg" alt="Past Image" width="500" height="242" /></p>
<p align="left">Once you have enlarged the wheels selected the layer the car is on and go to menu Edit&gt;&gt;Transform&gt;&gt;Scale. Make the cars width 80% but leave the height the same.</p>
<p align="left"><img src="../images/advanced-tutorials-images/funny car/sqishporshe.jpg" alt="Scale Photoshop Tool" width="500" height="242" /></p>
<p align="left"> </p>
<p align="left">Once that is done you have to select around the wheel where you feel the car wheels will merge well and delete the excess. Do so with the other wheel.</p>
<p align="left">
<p align="left"><img src="../images/advanced-tutorials-images/funny car/Untitledfgh-2.jpg" alt="Cut photoshop Tool" width="500" height="239" /></p>
<p align="left"> </p>
<p align="left"> </p>
<p align="left">Your car should be taking shape now how ever there is still a bunch of left over pieces and final nips and tucks to do. The easiest way to complete the final transformation is to use the <img src="../images/photoshop-tool-images/smudge.gif" alt="" width="28" height="20" />smudge tool. But before you use it you must flatten your image go to menu Layers&gt;&gt;Flatten Image. Then use the smudge tool to work the rest of the image into the car.</p>
<p align="left"> </p>
<p align="left"> </p>
<p align="left"><img src="../images/advanced-tutorials-images/funny car/Untitlefghfghd-2.jpg" alt="tutorial image" width="500" height="235" /></p>
<p align="left">After I flatten the image I used the <img src="../images/photoshop-tool-images/smudge.gif" alt="Smudge Tool" width="28" height="20" />smudge and <img src="../images/photoshop-tool-images/clone stamp.gif" alt="Clone Stamp Tool" width="38" height="25" />clone stamp tool to get rid off the door lines and fix up some of the paint.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.photoshopcartutorials.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/fpv-ford.jpg"></a>Today I am going to show you how to change the color of any car/truck using Photoshop. This is a very simple tutorial and should only take you about ten minutes to complete. <span id="more-22"></span>The file we will be Photoshop’in today is below you can you any photo you like.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.photoshopcartutorials.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/fpv-ford.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-19" title="fpv-ford" src="http://www.photoshopcartutorials.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/fpv-ford.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="241" /></a></p>
<p>Okay open your car photo in Photoshop and we are going to use the polygon lasso tool to select around the car make sure to use your zoom when doing this to get the edges right.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.photoshopcartutorials.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/carselecting.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-17" title="carselecting" src="http://www.photoshopcartutorials.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/carselecting.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="317" /></a></p>
<p>After you have gone around the car with the polygon lasso tool you should have something that looks similar to this.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.photoshopcartutorials.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/carselected.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-16" title="carselected" src="http://www.photoshopcartutorials.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/carselected.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="285" /></a></p>
<p>Note: that there are dotted black and white lines all around the car this mean your on the right track. Now while the car is selected press Ctrl + c then Ctrl + v. This should have given you a new layer in your layers panel. (If you can’t see your layers panel press F7 or go to window&gt;&gt; Layers and it will come up). While the car is still selected press Ctrl + u and the Hue/saturation panel should come up. You can select any Hue you would like but I slide my hue bar all the way to the right to +180 changing the color to blue.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.photoshopcartutorials.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/hue1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-20" title="hue1" src="http://www.photoshopcartutorials.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/hue1.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="202" /></a></p>
<p>After selecting your hue color press ok. Now your car will still be selected so press Ctrl + D to deselect the car and you’re DONE! Just save you image as a jpeg file.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.photoshopcartutorials.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/ford-finish.gif"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18" title="ford-finish" src="http://www.photoshopcartutorials.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/ford-finish.gif" alt="" width="500" height="241" /></a></p>
