How true, I had an old copy of CS2 on my last desktop but that bit the dust a few years ago.

One thing i noticed, 500gb is no longer enough for me. After the crap load of pictures from the petit le mans all i keep hearing from the computer is that my hard drive is full, currently trying to copy 5k+ pictures over to my little portable drive. Then delete a few programs and see what i end up with.

yea i've got two 1 TB hard drives plus a 128gb SSD main drive. one TB drive is for media, the other is for pictures with the 128 being for windows, games and productivity software. as cheap as hard drives are these days, you pretty much don't have any excuses. i'm hoping to nab a nice 2TB to upgrade my picture storage drive since i've had it for a while, i'd hate for it to die on me (though i do have a backup for that drive, a 1.5TB external, it's just slow as hell)

No excuses, my current desktop has 3 hard drives in it at the moment. One for just the operating system, another for games and programs, and the third is for storing music, movies, and pictures. Unfortunately it is in storage atm so i gotta deal with what i have.

Here's a good one that I think a lot of people on this forum might enjoy!.. Taking a pic of your own car, and adding aftermarket mods to it, to see what it might look like. I.E. Body kit, different spoiler, wheels, etc...

I second this motion.

I was also thinking a tutorial on selective color would be cool. I used to know how to do it but have forgotten. I would give you more rep but it won't let me until I give somebody else rep.

How about this one? What can you do with this one?

HKYStormFront

i used to use the pen tool to cut out the parts i wanted to leave colored, select it as a path, then select the inverse (everything else) and desaturate. that worked. much easier way is to use the black and white tool (so you can adjust the color levels) then just use the history brush on the parts you want to bring back to color. just remember to do any sharpening after that step since the history brush will take it back to how it was when you open the image, not just back one step in the history

I'm thinking a nice start may be putting after market wheels on, secondly maybe window tint, applying vinyl decals to the car, and after market body work /kits

Definitely I'll try to do that we have to remember when changing car parts images must be close to same position
