the bike looks thrown on lol. But I like the sidewalk idea - some of the text is overflowing onto the grass, though. And don't put in Mazda3. If they don't know what it is and how to find out what it is, they shouldn't be on this forum .

 

[clicknext]

lol, the bike looks a little out of proportion if you know what I mean...

 

[mazda3zoom]

there how bout now, and thats my actual lisence plate.

 

[Lord_Zath]

What program are you using - photoshop?

I'd recommend not using a license plate, especially listing mods. Someone might see it and void your warrenty .

Why not crop in on the car more and then list the mods on the door or something in white text? That might look cool

Looks like the image did not resize well...the edges are a little jagged.

its adobe photo shop CS2. and im not worried about a warrenty, im on my 2nd motor already and have no warrenty.lol.

and i dont know why the edges look goofey, its a 6.1 MP camera so the resolution should be good...i dunno. its good enought for me. And i gotta use the plate, who else has one that says mazda3? not just an abbreviation.

I do not think it is a problem with your camera. Sometimes artifacts are introduced by software when it resizes an image.

Does anyone see what I'm trying to say? Maybe you didn't quite keep the proportions when you resized the image, I'm not sure what settings there are in photoshop...

BUT if you would like to see if there is a difference, post the original picture (the way you got it off the camera) and I'll try to illustrate it.

A good beginners tip for you: When you want to edit an image like that copy it to a new trasparent work area. I always thought it was a good idea to work on an actual layered Photoshop image rather than layer onto a Jpeg. It's saved me a few headaches before.

Looks like the image was scaled smaller with a crappy algorithm.

I'm not familiar with Photoshop CS2, but when you resize the image, if there are any options for different ways of scaling, pick the slowest one(should be called cubic interpolation or something like that), it won't take longer than a second, and the results should be better.

Also, if you don't want your image to link to imageshack, just use this code

^Good insight!

I was going to comment on the sizing thing, but it looks like others have said it.... That's one thing that people seem to overlook a lot.

Jaged edges are my top pet peeve.... it's something that does not have to be there.

Nice looking car BTW.

give it a shot, although i have no idea what everyone else is talkin about with the layering thing. I have no idea how to use any of the features on this program.
i just attached that pic and the forums resized it and it still looks all jagged on the edges, it doesnt look that way if i just view it on windows pic viewer.

 

[rx7mazda]

I might mess with it tomorrow if I have time.

 

[mazda3zoom]

i just clicked on the pic once i had it opened up and it let me zoom in on it and the lines were all smooth, its just sumthin with resizing it......?

Dont do it!!!!!! Michigan sucks so bad, im tryin to move outta here and people like you want to come here, i just dont get it.lol. But seriously michigan weather sucks ass, maybe its just because i hate the snow and cold, i dont know. I live in ypsilanti, near ann arbor. Its about 2 hours from lansing i think.

I'm gonna move to Flint, MI... I hear that place is awesome.

It only has those jagged edges because the browser is shrinking it down to fit the whole thing.

If you click the expander thing at the bottom right and view it in actual full size there is no issue with the edges.

Edit:

I opened this full size in PS. Image > Image size > changed to 700px wide.

I also adjusted the shadows to show a bit more detail.
