3. Use the Polygonal Lasso Tool and try to create selection similar to mine on the
picture which you can see below:
4. After that we should remove unnecessary parts like glass, automotive head lamps and
radiator enclosure which is selected now. Hold the Alt button and when the minus sign near
cursor will appear you can remove part of existing selection.
5. Then fill selected area with linear gradient (use colors of #01ccff and #3554c8)
on the new layer and change layer mode to Multiply.
6. Now we got interesting gradient. You can get this effect in a real life by applying kind of
chameleon brush or by mixing two colors in aerography coloring. Ok, move to the next step.
When selection is activated, move to background layer and press Ctrl+J to copy selected
area. After that move this layer thumbnail to the top on the layers palette and change layer
mode to Overlay for this layer. In this way we got metallic glare on the car surface back.
7. Open up this picture and copy to our main canvas with car. Before start processing the
picture you can reduce layer opacity to 60% to see car’s sizes under the picture. Then
use Ctrl+T to resize it and put it into the right perspective by pressing Ctrl button and
moving extreme points of our fragment what is under transformation. You should get
perspective view similar to mine on the picture below:
8. After that apply the Eraser Tool and a soft round brush about 100px to make some clean
work. Reduce layer opacity to 100% again.
9. Now change a little bit red color balance on the picture by using Image > Adjustment >
Levels with next presets:
11. Ok, then copy oceanic picture to the main canvas one more time and flip it
vertical with Edit > Transform > Flip Vertical. After that make the same actions
to add the picture to another part of the car.
12. We are done on this step! We got pretty much interesting and professional processed car
aerography effect. Looks cool, Thank to everyone for reading this tutorial!
