Lines around the panels

[southy277]

Im am trying to put lines around the panels. I am using the line tool but I can't get a decent line. I just get the attached. Can anyone help or if i send the psd file they can do the lines for me? Ta

Try selecting the panels with the wand tool ( I then make a new layer, with the selection still active), then go to Select>Modify> Contract and contract the selection by about 12px ( I do 12 as I paint on double the normal size template) then I do smooth by 10px then smooth by 10px again (works better than doing 20 in 1 go) then fill that area in white (flood fill tool), contract the selection by 1 px (or whatever you want as this is the width of your outline), then delete the selected area which should leave you with a 1px outline around all your panels.

I use the polygonal lasso tool southy, once you have drawn out your coachlines right click stroke 1px and whatever colour you like do the same for all the different panels

I still can't get them... Anyone willing to do them if I send my psd files across? Ta

Thanks - I only need one file doing for the F2's and the rest will be replicated across.

 

When i decide on the F1 chassis i'll post the psd file here again.

 

Ta very much.
