Saw this light at MGF10

I loved the reflection when I took this shot - so I de-coloured the bodywork and highlighted the lamp itself:

That's such a gorgeous pic hun! How do you make the colour pop like that?

Are you some sort of crazed serial car lamp picture collector? :dunno:

Nice pic by the way. :yesnod:

if you are a 'cereal' (for clive) collector heres another for you bud.....like others im curious how you do these lovely colour shots...photo shops etc never something ive ever dabbled with

No idea how people do this?

cmon clive share the secret please.....and you could have picked a better colour than x power primer...:whistle:

Very nice guys!
But you need to try to keep that idiot with the camera out of the picture.:snow:

Yep you're right.

Mask the light (Pretty quick and rough mask on this one) and change the colours.

What are you using? Photoshop? Photobucket? Tutorial needed please! :notworthy:

Just using Corel Photopaint. It is part of the excellent Corel drawing package and is near enough the same as Photoshop.

All you do is use a mask tool to draw a mask around the light unit, then invert the mask, so the bit your working on is everything but the light unit, then use the edit functions to replace colours or convert to greyscale etc.

The hardest part is getting the mask spot on. If you look closely at the blue one you can still see red around the light as I didn't spend much time on the mask.
