Default Photoshop whizes needed for Jetstream blue & Chrystal red...

Alrighty, now that there are several pictures of the painted panels out there, can one of you photoshop guys put together some eye candy for us showing these two colors on a Vette. I'm seriously disappointed that we didn't get to see actual Vettes painted, but still just as anxious. Thanks!!!

Default Better yet!

How about a bounty paid to the first person to actually get a real photo?

A one year free subscription to the forum should be a nice incentive.

Isn't CF free already or are you referring to a one Gold Supporting Member subscription?

Jetstream Blue is not a color you could easily photoshop onto the car, because from what I understand it changes color based on how you look at it, much like Blue/Green Chameleon, a color available on the Camaros and Firebirds a few years ago (I had a 98 Formula in this color)

As far as Crystal Red, it might look something similar to this:



(I did that in Photoshop to see how a candy apple red would look on the C6)

Not bad, but does seem a little dark? Do you think Crystal red will be that dark looking? BTW, thanks for the pic!

I made up this photo last year, long before they announced Crystal Red, and I was trying to make the color look more like a dark candy apple red. I think Crystal Red will be a lot lighter. Give me a few minutes, I'll give Crystal Red a go.

It's possible it might look more like this:

The new blue might look similar to this picture below, but like I mentioned, if it's a color that shifts, it'll be hard to reproduce in Photoshop:

Wow Patman! Both of those look great. I'm going to have a real difficult time choosing between the two for my order.

If you have seen the reddish purple expedition I think it will look the same color as that.
