I have read the faq's and went to several of the tutorial links. I didn't see a thread on how to do it myself. In other areas of this site, members go to great detail of "how to" and post great pictures of their pickup projects.
Would one or more of you consider posting the "how to" details of photoshopping a pickup? You could do a section for color change, chopping, sectioning, changing height, changing wheels, etc.
I appreciate your willingness to do a photoshop custom for us, but I would really like to know how to do it myself.

If you look almost to the top of the main photoshop page you will see something called photoshop faq. Click that. There are several posts in there pertaining to photoshopping our trucks. There are also a ton of links up there for photoshop tutorials. Just because a tutorial isnt about our trucks specifically, try to think how you can use it. For instance, Ive seen a tutorial on how to change the color of someones shirt. It tells you how to select the shirt to color, and then it tells you how to do the change. Apply that to a truck...select it and color it. You do shirts and trucks the same way. Eventually if you find you like doing this kind of stuff you will learn that there are many ways to accomplish the same end result. I do stuff the way thats comfortable for me others do it a completely different way, but the end result is close to the same...Gah, Im rambling. It boils down to this isnt the easiest thing to learn or teach in a few minutes online....Practice practice practice.

PS..
Maybe learning some of the lingo of photshopping is a good place to start so you have a basic idea of what they are trying to tell you.

Good Luck :)
