how do you get a colour bike in a black and white garage then?

(love this pic)

[bex]

Magic silly!

[Albie]

Oh please please tell. Been trying all day. :D well an hour

[uksurfer]

think i might send over a colour picture of my bike and rjbex can stick it in a b/w garage :mand:

[bex]

Theres a few ways; you can either desaturate the whole image and then use the history brush tool to bring back parts. Or you can desaturate by colour eg. reds/cyans etc

Send it over if you like, I enjoy this stuff.

[Albie]

I have a black and white bike so it will look like that anyhow. :look::look:

[uksurfer]

good offer, thanks, i'll try and take some at the weekend and send them to you, cheers :woot:

[Albie]

I only have photoshop elements 2.0. I guess its out of date.:confused::confused:

[bex]

No worries, get a good background with no crap if possible, makes such a difference :)

You can probably use elements but not as good as photoshop, rjbex@mac.com if you want to send something through.

[bex]

If you want, as long as its a decent picture to start off, I can't do miracles!

[mjw]

Oh good lord.!someone's going to be busy:chuckle:

[bex]

No.

Not yet...

[mjw]

Who...me.?:mand:

[BluprintZ]

I only have photoshop elements 2.0. I guess its out of date.:confused::confused:

Hey Albs, i have V 7.0. if you want it mate, can send via Googlemail if you have an account.

G : )

[kneedown]

but might do

[bex]

haha aye might do it looks like!

[Ginger]

Bex - SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET Pics Honey.

Is there any chance of them in poster size or tasteful canvas?

[BluprintZ]

Oooh Bex, i feel a bit of free enterprise is on da way!!
A poster of your favourite Monster on the bedroom wall, bike porn...i like!
A business venture offered to you on a plate, innit?

G : 0 :p

[bex]

Yeh I'm not long into a new flat... I'm going to print the third one out along with some other random photography of mine and knock a few frames together.

[mjw]

Oh the bike pictures.:twak::spin:

[BluprintZ]

Looking forward to seeing the results, nice one!

G : ) :thumbsup:

(dirty boy Marv) : )

[kneedown]

:sounds a good:idea:

[bex]

Albie, when you've mastered selective colouring you can give multi-person a go! I wonder what a monnie version would be like....

Did this years ago,
http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a370/rjbecs/multibex.jpg

[uksurfer]

thats cool :thumbsup:

[Duke Konan]

If I ever decide to sell my bike, you're taking the photos Bex!

[chris yeatman]

Thats brill. Bluprintz is sending me version 7. I will see how I get on. Old dog new tricks.

[Black Bob]

Monnie had a wash and then some clicky clicky fun this evening...

http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a370/rjbecs/Monster_090907_03_jpeg.jpg

That's just awesome. With a bit cropped off the top and bottom ( 2:35:1 widescreen?), I'd want that on my wall.

[walpole68]

You can do that on a iphone/ipod touch using colour splash,you photos start in black and white then you just high light with you finger the area you want to return to colour.Only trouble is my bike being white doesnt work as well as say a red one.

Can I borrow your cloning machine? I could do with an extra me to go to work for me.

[mad_turnips]

for some good tips on photoshop look up "you suck at photoshop" on youtube - he can be a bit annoying bit the infos good :)


Greatest thing about Architecture Degree is all the much more interesting stuff you learn thats not about architecture , Photoshop being up there at the top for me

I really love this picture, it would make and excellent UKMOC calendar photo, if such a thing existed (anyone want to get involved?). My only comments would be that the focus around the front forks is very soft.

What Camera\Lens are you using?

Also I reckon that little light in the top left could do with being shopped out! :)

There was meant to have been a calender last year and photos were asked for and some handed in. As far as I know it never happened. It may not be too late this year but it would need to be researched and pics chosen and getting orders. Not just I may have one order. I may investigate

I have to second this, just give us a date :D

[adam15]

As i read further down this post it got more interesting, so i know i should have cs3 photoshop somewhere albie so i could sort you out that if i can find it then it will be you who can do everyone's pictures :-)
Bex will be able to give you lots of idea lol

[kneedown]

i have Adobe photoshop elements 3 but have not used it a lot so far as iphoto is ok for some prints

[mad_turnips]

have done the graphics/photoedited a few calenders ( naked university ones :) ) for clubs last few years if you want a hand Albie ( though keep your clothes on if you dont mind)

[bex]

Agree with all that, I wasn't actually going to use this photo, just when I opened it up on screen I thought the angle was actually kind of cool, but you're spot on about the focus.

I have a Canon 5D and mainly use a EF24-70 f2.8 L lens.

Great photo's and photoshop skills Bex

Loving the Blue paintwork on your 620 - as you can see I went for a similar colour on mine

Belly pan is a nice addition but IMO would be better colour matched

Could you post a better quality version of this so i can use it as my desktop please?

[bex]

A few pics from Cheddar Gorge and Ilfracombe on my mini south west road trip - lucky with the weather, great to be out on the road feeling free! All went well except for when I was belting along a B road out of Cheddar and went ripping past some parked up bikes by the side of the road, think I gave a nod on my way by... the road was so good I turned and did it again, second time I saw them all at some lights and realised it had been two coppers parked up too... think it was a Bikesafe group stopped for a chat, doh.

[skank]

i was in Ilfacombe surfing last month! 'Great place for a ride' I thought!!

[Diego]

nice pics! must do that route myself some time!

[Albie]

I have always said to caroline I want to ride down to cheddar gorge. I went there in a car once. Did you have scones in the pink cafe and did you climb Jacobs ladder for a view.

[bex]

Yeh you definitely should it was really good. Nope didn't do any of those things just sat on the bike :D

Had 3 wild deer run out in front of me at one point which reminded me my adrenaline system is working just fine.

[Albie]

May go down there in my october hols and stay at aunts in Bath eastern

[tomscotland]

I think all your pics are brilliant Bex and your bike looks a cracker. I'm looking forward to next summer and getting out on our Scottish roads up here and going to some great places I know here, but yours are terrific.
Bye the way I notice the luggage on your seat cowl - where can I get one of those ?
Tom

[kneedown]

you have some good photo's looks like the weather was kind which helps 'we were in brixham last oct hot and sunny very nice

Its a Kriega US10; pretty tiny really but I find its enough to put anything heavy in and all the light stuff like clothes goes in my backpack.

http://www.kriega.com/ (kriega)

They aren't exactly cheap, but for the quality I think the prices are reasonable given that they're generally all waterproof etc. Got a backpack and tailpack and love them both. You can strap tailpack onto backpack or convert it into tank bag and so on....

[neilbaldry]

Nice bellypan bex!
