STEP #1 Make a new document that's 12x6 pixels in size and has a transparent background. |
|
STEP #2 Now select the top left corner and fill it diagonally with a black to white gradient. Do the same with the bottom right corner.
|
|
STEP #3 Now define the pattern you've created. |
|
STEP #4 Name the pattern and click ok. |
|
STEP #5 Alright. Now that we have that out of the way, we can start on the car. Open your picture and select the part of the vehicle to be carbon fibered. |
|
STEP #6 Make a new layer via copy.
|
|
STEP #7 Desaturate the newly made layer. |
|
STEP #8 Go to brightness/contrast and darken the layer a bit. |
|
STEP #9 Next, go to fill layer. |
|
STEP #10 Find the pattern you made earlier and click ok. |
|
STEP #11 Rasterize your new fill layer. |
|
|
STEP #12 Now go adjust the perspective. |
|
STEP #13 Make it so it looks good compared to the angle of your original image. |
|
STEP #14 Then give it a little twirl. |
|
STEP #15 Now to select just the hood, you hold command and click on the hood layer (You should have 3 layers. The original, the hood layer, and the pattern fill layer. I know in some of these pics I have an extra layer. Disregard that.) The command click is for Macintosh. For PC it might be Alt click or control click. |
|
STEP #16 Select inverse. |
|
STEP #17 After you've selected the inverse, just press delete. It should look like this afterwards. |
|
STEP #18 Now lower the opacity of the fill layer a bit. |
|
STEP #19 Ok, now combine the pattern fill layer and the hood layer. Now you should only have 2 layers. The new carbon fiber hood layer and the original image. Lower the opacity of the hood layer a little. |
|
DONE! =)
