Make your own magazine cover.
They've done this before in years past but Photo Reflect is offering a way to produce your own magazine covers.

I've never ordered one, but they are fun to play with.

Cool! This sort of stuff is fun.
I may or may not have photoshopped my car into a fictional 16-bit video game screenshot...

Am I doing it right?

Re: Make your own magazine cover.
I love it aside from their use of the Impact font. I'll have to play with it myself

Re: Make your own magazine cover.
LOL! You are doing it right & I know exactly how you feel! I had my 91 out last Thursday and took the exact same picture!
Now, the roads have already been salted at least once here (in fact it's snowing as I type this), but we had just had two days of pouring rain so I figured I was good.

Re: Make your own magazine cover.
I just use the Snipping Tool software that comes with windows, block it out & save it.

Re: Make your own magazine cover.
God has nothing to do with it Linson! Just use the Snippit Tool, highlight, then save image. Go to your search block and type in "Snippit Tool". Now, get back to COTY.

Re: Make your own magazine cover.
Lots of fun. I have not figured out how to control the size of the image copied to the cover...many of mine are too large, and you get 1/3 of a car on the cover.

Re: Make your own magazine cover.
On my bucket list is to have a "major" publication do a story on one of my cars. Furthest I ever got was a newspaper article, so this fills the void. Fun app to play with! Now all our cars are stars!!
