Chromed Nissan GT-R at the Festivals of Speed 2013 event in St. Petersburg Florida, highly stylized & editedAt the Festivals of Speed 2013 car event in St. Petersburg, Florida, there was no shortage of cars getting a lot of attention. However, a chrome Nissan GT-R was getting more than most. Anytime you chrome out a car, it is going to be eye catching. Whether such a finish to a car is to your taste or not, you cannot help but stare at it. Since this GT-R was surrounded by people, I had to do a lot of editing in Photoshop and other apps to get a final result I liked. Below I show the process.
I chose to completely replace the sky because that was much, much easier to do than to edit out the people and trees in the existing background. This way I only had to select the car and foreground and then place that on a new layer and slip in behind it a blue sky I had in my archives. The choice to go infrared was because of how black it made the sky, and in contrast how shiny the car looked in comparison. Editing out the reflections in the car was just a tedious process that needed to be done to complete the look.
