I have the gauges out of my car and I have scanned them in but I cant find in photoshop where I change the colors to white and blue or red letters. Also how are you guys getting all the accesory lights and blinker lights to show up. Do I just cut them out? If so then how do I cut out the check engine lights because they are so small. Please help I am going to try to finish this over Thanksgiving. Thanks again Danny

 

Also what type paper should I use? Would it be best to print them out on real big labels and just stick them over the existing guages. I printed them out on the glossy paper and the black from the existing guages shows through. I am afraid if I go any thicker my needles will get stuck. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Danny

 

You could use the Magic wand to select the white area then the brush to paint it the color of your choice. Other ways to adjust color would be image>adjust>levels Just make sure you use the magic wand or the marquee to (press M to select) select the area that you want to color. The letters you might use the same technique just zoom in. Or you can use the photochop text to put in the kinda text you want for the #s. There is some button for that in your tool box.

 

Post an uncompressed pic in URL for here. If no one else does it, i'll try to get to it tonight. Its not that hard to change the color, but you can do alot with PS.

 

Ok I will post it tonight. What do you think about the blinkers and engine accesory lights? Also I am not sure how to post a URL. Can I just e-mail it to you? Thanks again guys for your help. Danny

 

Sure, go ahead and send it to my email. Its in there somewhere. I don't gaurentee pro work, but I do well enough with photoshop that I think I can do a decent job of it.

There is someone who has posted white face templates somewhere on here before. I just can't remember the post.

 

Hey Fuity, I sent them to your e-mail (wjrneo@telocity.com) I hope that is right. So what kinda paper should I use? And how do I cut out the shapes and stuff for accesory lights? I appreciate your time and responses more than you know. Thanks again Danny

 

Fruity, for some reason your e-mail address isn't working for me. It keeps coming back to me. I am going to try to figure out how to post a URL.

 

I just checked the link in my sig. Its working.

To post an URL, you'll need to do this. [url]http://www.site.com/filename.xxx[/url ]

 

Hi Fruity, thanks for your help. I just finished my gauges and my ****er & it looks AWESOME. I had to put some thick plastic over my shifter to keep it good over time. I did my heater/ac but it looks kinda wierd. LOL Well thanks again for your time & patience. Danny
