Well I don't know about that
but thanks for the positive words. It's nice to see so many Twenty fans on the forums these days...

Heh... I wish there was a 'Make my Raleigh Twenty look cool' filter... but sadly not - Maybe in the upcoming CS4 version?
Seriously though - I've been a hardened user of Photoshop for about 15 years now for my day job (makes me feel old) so knocking out the odd dream-bike is sort of second nature. They're made with composits of a stripped 20 frame someone posted as an image on here a few years back, Airnimal Wheels/drivetrain/fork and other component images sourced with Google Image search.
I 'cut' them out using layer masks and then the whole thing is colourised using non-destructive colour overlays if that makes any sense? I kinda 'think' natively in Photoshop these days so it's hard to relay every exact step of the process... I welcome more virtual bikes on the forum though...
