Not as cute as mine :P

Mental note: squish MX5 tonight

I agree George that IS cute love it!!

Tried doing it to mine but I dont have any side on pics. When you do it with a 3/4 pic it looks all distorted. Might take one in the weekend

OK, so for a PS numpty, how do you do that?

[Bull1t]

Take a copy of the car side on and reduce its width while keeping the height constant. Then take another original copy of the photo and copy the wheels and wheelarches and put them on the squashed version. Then tidy up the edges so it looks like one picture.

Bugger, so you have to be an artist, I was hoping it was something clever in the software so a non artist like me could just press a button.

[Bull1t]

Its not that hard. Im far from an artist...the only things I know how to do are like above and lower cars. Just the better you are at it the more seamless the joins of the two pictures are.

If youd like one email me an original and Ill do one for you.

Not entirely happy with how it came out but Im not sure why. So I lowered it to see if that would improve it

Happy to do anyone elses if my attempts look ok.

Cool ride. Still remember taking one of these for a test drive 15 years ago. The thought of it still makes me smile.

Work going a bit slow too huh


Heres another with no editing done in Paint. The squashed images above you need to cut the wheel out from an un squashed image and save them some where, then squash your image then paste the wheels back on. The line of where you cut the wheels out including a bit of wheel arch is the trick to make it more realistic.
