Very cool hein??

[BEN]

[BMK]

That looks very cool.......

Anyone know how much it'd cost to get that printed out onto A3? :)

[hugogt]

B3N, I guess the colour can be changed in any photo editor, but I dont know how to do it.
I can meanwhile ask to the guy that do this if is simple.
If it is, I will ask him to do it in all Mcoupe colours I know and I will post them here.
about the size, I print this in A3 size and looks amazing, and he tells me that the picture can be printed even in A1 whithout losing quality!! (not the jpeg, but the original illustrator file)
:P

Not very much ;)

If the guy can save in all the colours available I can do a run of 50 on board and send out if theres enough interest (need hi res pdfs tho) They would look cool.

Ben,

Here y'a go :!:

To do this you need to download the large image to your Mac, then open it in Photoshop. When it's open, you go Image > Adjustments > Replace Color, then you click the "sampler" icon on the blue colour on the car and then adjust the slider for saturation. Select the best colour of Estoril Blue and not the shadows or highlights of blue. To get Phoenix Yellow from the Estoril Blue of the original image, you need to move the slider almost to the extreme left. When you've got the colour exactly to your taste, you then save. You'll then need to go back to the image to "paint' the BMW propellor decals blue again.

wicked thanks John!

50 on A3 350 Matt art would cost a mere £1.35 each plus P&P.

[BEN]

It would be better to change the colour in the original .ai file - that way the artwork will still be in a vector format and can be printed out at any size with no degredation in quality.

If you go down the Photoshop route, the image will be rasterised, and if you then try to print at a larger size, the quality will suffer. Exdos, try resaving with no compression - there's a lot of Jpeg 'snot' on that image.

hugogt - did your colleague create that from scratch, or start by using Adobe Streamline?
If its the former, he's done a very good job!

[hugogt]

from what I see he only use adobe illustrator.
He open the original photo and using layers (i guess) he alternate the picture with the drawing until completion.
I will have the original .ai file only wednesday (he took same days off).
I can them upload the file to one of you guys so you can work the file.
The file has about 45mb.

My only request is that you dont delete his signature from the drawing.

Again, I'm only a "dabbler" when it comes to computers, but I get by. I had to get an image size of less than 1mb to get it hosted on Photobucket, so I compressed it so Ben could download something and see how he could also get the MC in the image in Phoenix Yellow. The original Raw image was over 10Mb.
