My wife is one of those people who can read a book on learning something new and never understands half of it. l.o.l. These pictures are not hard to do i showed her a few times and it takes a bit of time to get the hang of it. This is what she amuses herself with when she is bored. The pictures were taken on a cloudy day. A 1 :18 scale Mercury and a Dollhouse. ![]() This is a 1: 64 scale 58 chevy .The people are 1:87 scale ![]() Add lights. ![]() My wife has a strange imagination a Granada doing a burnout. ? ![]() ![]() The problem with adding the water effect it shrinks the picture. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Well you get the idea. No not photoshop . The water effect is a free online photo editor. The other effects are done with two different photo editors . Both are free downloads. FREE is something i figure has a catch to it. I use them on a old computer i keep at a workshop .I scanned them for virus and maleware no problem so like anything that is Free on the internet it is use at your own risk. |

Thanks guys .. Harry the water effect is a easy one to do .. Pearl did a did a tutorial on it so she wouldnt forget how it was done . I showed her how to do screenshots and use the program Paint to downsize her pictures and make a little photo tutorial. She has been busy amusing herself with this kind of thing.l.o.l. If there is any interest i will post it. |

Ok Swifty .. I did the sceenshots Pearl finished it. Any mistakes blame her l.o.l. If you use a photo hosting site you already know how to get your picture on a site all this is for someone who has no idea about this kind of thing In a few words it is load the picture and wait till it starts to move for a minute then save it very simple.![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This is how it ended up the cars were parked in a driveway. Real cars are my thing the 40 plymouth was stock and restored .Pearls lemon mobile Shelby .4 cyl junk. They should have dumped a v8 and rear wheel drive in them can not believe Shelby put his name on those lemons. The moonlight was put on with a different photo editor and that would have to be done first. It is a free download and another topic. This is just for a water effect. ![]() Just tossed this picture in to show i can do a custom on a real car but no patience for the little cars making a drill press setup for Pearl was a pain she likes to do wheel swaps on the little cars. The last picture is another Plymouth i built It run a 351 Ford with a C6 automatic. The chopped G.M.C. run a 454 4 speed Real cars were my hobby for years .. ![]() Pearl looks after the little cars ![]() The site for the photo editor is Free you dont have to sign in or join to use it. http://www.lunapic.com/editor/ Any problem with the link just google lunapic and it will take you to the site. I found it by accident looking for a photo editor. Lots of neat stuff and pretty easy to figure out. |

I use a freeware program called Sqirlz Water Reflections, it does not shrink down the size and you can add rain and snow to the picture also. You can get the progam here Sqirlz download .![]() ![]() |

Thanks for the info Snowowl Looks neat.. I like your big critter in the background he looks like he is trying to decide if the deer or the people will be a good meal l.o.l. I checked out the site interesting stuff .For now i am going to stick with the 3 i have our internet is like a snail this page took a couple of minutes to load . My computer works fine 30 miles from here in town .We waited 2 years to get phone lines and internet and it is a joke.We are way out in the backwoods . A guy is supposed to come fix it next week they know there is problems all 3 houses in a 10 mile stretch have the new internet and it dont work l.o.l. I miss photoshop Pearl tossed out a bunch of C.D.S. when we moved and photoshop was in the pile. Not buying that again l.o.l. Someone on here may read this topic and try it .I will sooner or later. The water effect is very nice i like the rain drop one on their site. |
