bump for forty not knowing how to use photoshop

j/k forty, I'll do it for you a little later once work has settled down, provided someone else hasn't beaten me to it by then.

It seems like you want to do an Electron Blue color. Forty, I thought you knew how to do that?

Hey forty I can lighten it up if you want, but don't forget you gave me an indoor pic to work with and an outdoor pic to compare to, so I think that the color I posted is pretty close to what the audi would look like in the building your car is pictured in. It might be better if you have an outdoor pic of your car from a similar angle with similar lighting. I'll post up a few variations of the indoor and see what you think.

OK first is the same color as the original I posted (but I cleaned up the edges)



Second is the same hue, but more saturation and lightness



Am I getting close?

here's another one. It's a little richer blue, because if you notice in the lighter blue above, the light/dark color transition starts to look worse, i dunno if you can tell but around the front bumper and hood mostly. This one doesn't look as bad.

Auto, you're really close, and thanks again for your efforts.

Heres a higher res, outdoor pic of my car if that will help. I'm going to keep experimenting as well to see if i can do it, but its not looking good so far..





Remmy, I can do this kinda stuff, but on a smaller scale. Like the fender flare i did for you before, that was way easier because i used a different technique that what Auto here is doing for me. I just recently learned the basics to changing a color and retaining the lines and whatnot.

Oh yeah, Remmy, its Nogaro Blue, not Electron Blue. I think Electron is what comes on the Si's, and Nogaro is primarily an Audi color designed for the S4's release a few years ago. Thats what i was told anyways..
