Hello, I just heard of this.  I have no photoshopping skills.  anyway of using my last pic I just uploaded in my gallery.  If you need a larger picjust let me know.

Would like to see the HD bar & shield logo.  For the wallpaper some internal gears.  Sig name in there some how.

Thanks I appreciate it.

Hi sweetlu,

Nice bike!

Yes, I think we can use that. I'll lighten and adjust it a bit and it should work. Give us several days. We are all volunteers and we have some other stuff just ahead of you but you'll get some ideas to choose from I'm sure.

Hey guys, I'm chopping it and will post it. Stand by.

OK guys, here's the .psd. The windshield is already 58% opacity thanks to 1badnt.

sweetlu, what we're doing is extracting your bike from the background so that it can be put on top of another photo or graphic.

Here's a sample of what I posted. It on a white background here, but the background can be anything because in the .psd file it is now clear - transparent.

Now folks just have to find time to build you a sig pic to put this on.

Sweetlu, you could help us a ton if you could find some pics of internal gears. That's a new term to me. We can piece things together or just apply them to another background, but the hunt for some good pics takes time and you'll get your sig a lot faster if you can help.

Google? photos internal gears? Pictures internal gears?

What say?

JB

Cool.  I'll start looking for some internal gear pics, but the one where you put it in the bar & sheild is a great idea.

Can you use this

http://books.google.com/books?id=XHv87bbro4AC&pg=PA208&lpg=PA208&dq=pictures+harley+main+drive+gear&source=web&ots=uDdaXDk4c5&sig=hc8K2iQBcxPu5YBBzXOWRKBUG0g#PPA36,M1

also was thinking of a wallpaper of a diagram.  like so:
http://www.geocities.com/pravgeusau/clutch.htm
then pasting the bike and the bar & shield you did with "sweetlu"some how.  Hey can you make sweetlu like it is etched or stamped in a piece of steel.

I'll kepp looking for gears and diagrams.

Those are good, but awfully dark and grainy. Someone will have some pro quality pics or drawings that really pop, somewhere??

How about these

This one is my favorite

Maybe these drawings are better you'll have to scroll down to the "Mechanical Assembly Drawings"

Hope I'm not double posting - site is acting up.

Nice sigs Jason. Thanks for helping. 

Thought about maybe leveling that bike a touch? Do you know your transform tool to do it in real time? Hope you don't mind...???

I thought that I did level it in the second pic, (shrug) maybe not... and I don't mind at all.

Fonts are my big problem, I don't like loading my computer up with them, they slow it down.

Yeah, I don't. I often go to www.cooltext.com and build them. It's free.

Try it out. I just built that gold font for sweetlu there. (above.)

PS  At www.cooltext.com if you specify .psd format you often get a clear bg.

One more. I decided not to use the motor inside the logo...the colors were too close to the colors of the bike and it really didnt blend well.

Welcome. That vector/drawing type logo was slick in this case. Fit in great. Nice going.

JasonJ (or anybody else), can you let me know (a link hopefully) on where you got this gear background/wallpaper.

I'm trying to finalize my paint job and want to incorporate the gears to it.

PS: anyway of changing my old "sweetlu" username to "FLuHX"

Thanks in advance
