I use Photoshop CS2 v9.0, it's not free but if you want a free tooll try GIMP.

ahat do you make with notepad ?
Many nice ice pj but the WRC one fror K0ster's Ford is shitty


btw many of the guys use PhotoShop

Like Z, for the (2) paintjobs I've done up until now, I've used Photoshop CS2 v9.0, the best one to me

Okay, photoshop, tried it once, it has in my opinnion too many options.
well i trie again.

and about notepad hahahahahahaha little mistake by me..

I have cs3 PS is complicated thats the reason I don't do textures tho search over the net is full of Tutorials

you can find some here

Nice paintjobs the best way to make PJ is Photoshop CS2, CS3 or CS4.
I'm using CS4. The another programs are sh... just nothing.

wohao! really nice pjs popin up here!
and who cares what software you use... if your out-put is amazing....

in my view ... you should stick with the one which makes you feel comfortable

Spoiler:

Just came back from work (nightshift)........... I'm Tired...


I can view Psd files with PaintshopPro.
I can remember something about photoshop, almost every new thing i created was put in a new layer.
Offcourse You got tons of nice effects-plugins in photoshop.

But still, Psp is 36MB and Xara is 33 Mb on my harddisk and damn fast with actions.
Also in xara i can create everything in vectors wich are instant moveable without switching to a layer.And in Xara i can take a picture and let xara convert it to a thousends of vectors where i remove the stuff i don't want in them, but there are limits.

And offcourse in photoshop you can create photrealistic stuff like it is made with a camera.

But hey, I have to trie or i wont know whats best for me.

Now i'm gonna view some sites and then go to sleep

Im just here to say awesome PJ's

nahh... don't use filters
Some tips:

The best way to make cool PJ is:
PEN TOOL then CTRL+T then fill it with Brush tool
If you find logos bigger than 1500x1000 just cut them
If they are smaller redraw them, if you can
The best PJ size it 2048x2048, 1024x1024 too...
Ever keep the temle in PSD, and the PSD file and never use ready donors.

I'm legendary?? huh? where ? how?


Okay, back to topic, i keep using my own programs, but start trying PhotoShop (maybe next week)

I mostly do tuning and drift when i have to choose.Sometimes i create a theme job (like Alien vs. Predator.)
I'm gonna start on an remake from a old paintjob that is criminal themed.
There are bullet holes in the paintjob and and with a alpha mask i trie to get the holes real in the car (seethru the holes to the interior)
I got one thing that is my signature, i don't make paintjobs with little details, so a paintjob with 2 racestripes? not my thing, to easy..

Also if somebody has a request for paintjobs, let me know.
If you have a picture? even better.
But i don't do paintjobs ripped from NFS games, i prefer real life jobs from cars or RC cars.

okay, i have to go to work now.Greetz
