I know nothing about photoshop, but I do know this. It would make your picture look much more realistic if the reflection of the lugs on the bass drum were black as well. I'm guessing they were origionally chrome?:D

I'm just givin ya a hard time. It does't look too bad, especially for your first time.:)

[Drummerorguitar]

i like this!!

[Drummerorguitar]

Big!!

[Fixxxer]

hey pearldrummer8: THis is how i do it

select all the chrome hardware, then take the brush, set it on black, normal brush setting, with opacity about 47%, then select a large spray paint-type brush, and go over the selected hardware 2-3 times, untill it looks real

[pearldrummer8]

fixxxer: how do i select the chrome?

skiezws: thanks. it was chrome before the black.

[criticdrummer]

can someone tell me how or do themself for me please i wanna see what my kit would look like with gold hardware :) but i wanna get an idea from my snare :)

[criticdrummer]

and my kit.. :) if someone could just do rims, lugs and rods that would be COOL cause i dunno crap bout paintshop or photoshop, but i have paintshopt 7 pro and photoshop 7

[Jookbox]

eek! fixxer! don't quit your day job :) instead of using opacity, try changing the layer mode to 'overlay' use the quick mask to draw in the chrome sections or whatever sections you want to color in.

[MisterSeth]

ON the Tools bar, look at the to couple of the tool, like the magic wand, and there is a Tool, Paint Brush Selection, it lets you select by painting, it makes it easyer to select what you want



For colored hardware, i put the brush on the brightest shade of the color, and then i Set the brush to "Darken" on the brush set, and i just free hand it, its not the easyest, but it works for me

heres one of mine, but pearl cant (or prob wont, not cant) do it.

[drummer4JC]

once again, no pearl here. same pic, diff colors

[drummer4JC]

this can be done.

[MisterSeth]

that last one is awesome....and im not even a fan of green drumsets.....but i love that

[Carl Peterson]

Man..how can you do that do one of my drums....:(

[Joey]

They wouldn't have to if Pearl could do coloured hardware :D ;)


I joke, I joke.

[Mr. Possibility]

Carl, is it possible to do a fade like in the picture of the drumset at the beginning of the thread, BUT have the fade go from bottom to top? IE around the floor area the drum is blue, but at the top where the tom mount would be, if it had one, is white?

[Carl Peterson]

Yeah..no problem with that..:D

[MisterSeth]

you have to add it by the attachment i guess

[AntiConformist]

ya. if it's on your harddrive, you have to "attatch" it, and if it's already hosted somewhere on the internet, you can use vBcode to post it...

[Fixxxer]

Im not sure if this is possible, so i took off the badge, but check it

[pearldrummer8]

i think this one looks cool.
