Photoshop for a T-shirt please.

[mikey531]

I want to do a t-shirt for me and my grandson, and the picture I want to use has a lot of background that I would like removed even after I tried cropping. I am attaching the picture. If anyone can help.

Thanks!!

I can't do the photoshop thing (props to those who can and do it well!), but I've seen from my own half-hearted attempts that the grass reflecting on the chrome really stands out when you isolate just the truck from the remainder of the photo. Not sure if that was the intent or if you were leaving it the setting, but I've been quite dishearten before over that oversight. It's amazing how your brain recognizes it as a reflection in context but not when the context is removed.

I never thought of that, I have other photos that I should look at and make sure I have neutral reflections. I have one picture that looks like it bluish because of the car next to me.Thanks!

No problem! Sorry to add something else to watch for instead or addressing your request. I found just holding my hand up to the screen and blocking the noise around the truck helps me see it a bit better in terms of reflection. Maybe it's just me too and may not bother you. I think concrete pavement works the best with gravel a closer second depending on angle and distance. Great looking stepside, btw!

As mentioned a neutral all around background, maybe a parking lot with no stripes and stuff to reflect. I fiddled around with it for a bit.

Put a black and white image over the color and erased the parts that werent chrome ... blah blah lol. In the end no matter what when you tried to bring the color out without the very busy reflections on the paint it didnt look good.

It would take a fair amount of time to do it up right with that photo. It looks kind of ok just in BW =)

Here is what I did with the '34 Ford picture I didn't want all the background in.
