Those of you requesting work will benefit by reading this, and it will also help the people doing the work have an easier time converting your car for you. If you want the best results follow these guidelines...
1. Post a high quality pic of your car. Crappy pics are actually harder to work with than high-res ones. If you don't have a way to get a good pic search the internet and find a car that looks like yours. Or just take pics of your car with a disposable camera and have the pics put on a picture CD at Wal-Mart. Kodak disposables will give you some very nice pics this way. The nicer the pic, the less noticable the Photoshop work will be. I can't tell you how many times I have just ignored a post simply because the pic was too messed up to work with.
2. When requesting a wheel swap you can help by finding some pics of the wheels you want installed. People in this forum are spending their free time doing you a favor. Be considerate and do the web surfing portion of the job yourself. Try to get pics of the wheels that were shot from the same viewing angle that the pic of your car was taken from. Or take a pic of your car that matches the viewing angle of the wheels. Just try to imagine where the camera was when it shot the pic of the wheel. Multiple pics of the wheels will sometimes help.
3. The same goes for color swaps. If you want your car to be Mineral Gray from the latemodel Mustang lineup, post a pic of a Mineral Gray car so the Photoshopper can match it up.
4. And PLEASE... check your links to your pics. After you make a post in the forum, click on the links to your pics and make sure they work.
If you follw these 4 steps I guarantee you that the results of the work done on your pics will be a LOT better!
Thanks for reading.
