Hello! This is my first tutorial, so please post any suggestions on how I can improve.


We start here:
file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/ADMINI%7E1/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/moz-screenshot.png

And we'll end here:


We'll need these effects (not actually sure what ones are plugins and what were here first, a few plugins were on already)
Glow
Motion Blur
Noise
Brightness/Contrast


And that's it!
Step 1: Magic Wand the car body (hold control to get multiple parts at once)


Paste this into a new layer. Add a low motion blur on an angle equal to the car side, duplicate and merge to make it a bit bolder.



Go to the back layer, and set it to black and white (Adjustments --> Black and White)



Run a glow (Effects --> Photo --> Glow) on max. radius, brightness 5 and contrast 30.




Finally, set the bottom layer to a lower contrast and brightness. This gives us a night-time look.


Flatten. Hope you liked it!

Fail. The first pic is gone, use the blurred one and your imagination instead.

You have one working image in this whole tutorial (http://img2.netcarsh...allpaper_01.jpg), and even that one requests you not hotlink their images.

file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/ADMINI%7E1/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/moz-screenshot.png is local to your computer. You need to upload it to a hosting service like ImageShack or imgur.

On all these: "https://sites.google...ds/GhostCar.jpg?attredirects=0," you need to remove the part I've highlighted red.

But all of this doesn't matter, because your tutorial is not very good anyway. Remember, "noobs should be reading tutorials, not writing them." Stick around a while, follow others' tutorials, make a gallery to show off your work and get feedback. Don't be in a rush to teach when you're still the student.
