Default First Time Request - Photoshop Sig

Any takers would be appreciated!!! You all have done some amazing work out there!

My Daytona sig is out of date due to new mods. I've reached a good plateau and the bike won't be changing drastically now that I have my new wheels.

I've read the info, and I've posted several pics below that I would consider using. They weren't taken with photoshop in mind (the bike just happened to be clean), soif one has too much glare, just disregard it if it can't be softened.

I don't want a chick in the sig or profanity. An ironcross, flames, stones,etc.would be ok. Other than that, use your imagination!

I've included some "Champion Freedom Riders" logos. It's our own local group. You could include any element of the design or none at all. Please don't take and use it for any other purpose--I and some friends worked very hard on it! Feel free to improve it if you wish. May contain something like"McPastor" "2006 Heritage Classic" but it isn't necessary.

Please let me know if you need bigger pictures or anything else.

Hi, Nice bike! I love the mods too.

Your pic is big enough, but the bright light from the sun has pixilated it badly. As you know, we chop the background manually and tediously, and that includes getting between the spokes. I just can't see or find the edges well enough to chop this. It's complicated some by the number and closeness of the spokes, but none of the edges are clean.

Could we please have a pic(s) about that size, but taken in smoother light and against an easier background such as a garage door? The light just before or just after sunset, or on a very cloudy day, or in total shade without sunlight in the bg works very well.

Thanks, and here's a blowup of the bike where I was ready to try to chop it. Note that I can't even see the edges of the tires, much less the spokes.

JB

Ewwww.... Sorry. That looks like a migraine in the working. My bike's dirty right now. I'm going to get it detailed sometime this week and I'll take some more pics. My camera'snice, a Minolta Dimage Xt, but it's older, so it's only 3 or 3.5 megapixel. Does that make a difference? Plus, I can send you the full size photo via email instead of letting Photobucket reduce it.

That camera should be fine. Just keep in mind what J.B. said about the lighting and the background it really does make our lifes a lot easier and makes for alot better chops and sigs. Lee

Yeah, and I erred. I meant the light just before sunrise or just after sunset, of course.
