RS6 Signature Shots

[nene]

I was playing around with the Audi USA website, and did some simple pix trickery, and got some signature shots out of it.

If anyone is interested, please visit the site below:

HTMS Signature Shots (http://www.coe.neu.edu/~nelson/sigs.html)

Here's a sample...you might want to resize it, but not necessary.

now how did you do that?

They block saving images from their site.

Let's have it, out with it, what software did you use! I have tried other sites to get images, but can't....

thanks, used it here LOL

It's really not too dificult. It might just look like that.
Photoshoping wheels onto a car is difficult.

Good thing about computers is the 'Shift-Print Screen' key combination.
When you press these two keys together, you basically take a snapshot of your desktop screen.

I then open Microsoft Photo Editor, which is just Microsoft Paint that handles GIF/JPEG images, and I do a 'Edit -> Paste as New Image'.

I then use the Select tool to cut around the area that I need. Once that area is hightlighted, I right click on the area and choose 'Copy'. Thing with the Select tool is that it only does square/rectangle cut outs.

I go back to 'Edit -> Paste as New Image'.
Save it as a GIF or JPEG.
And I'm done.

The trick with the shots I took, is that they were part of a Shockwave Flash presentation. I kept playing it over and over again. Once it got to the screen I wanted, I did my 'Shift/Print Screen' trick, and took it from there.

Really not that difficult. Just could not sleep last night, so I started messing around.

very nice technique I will try it now...thanks

I want to get a copy of that picture of the engine (out of the car) not the one you have posted but I have seen better images ie not in the dark but very well lit..

[Aronis]

Mike,

Stop post whoring... :D ;) :hihi:

Nelson,

Thanks man for the new sig! Hope you don't mind that I link the specific picture from your site?

I can easily move it to the rs6.com gallery if need be. :)

You can use the URL directly from the site.

Funny thing about the pix though. On the LCD display they don't look as dark. But on the CRT, they seem pretty dark.
I'll probably play with them a bit, and get it a bit less dark. Should not take long.

Nene - You cheater


...I love it. Nice work. Where there's a will, there's a way.

Nice!

There's just one problem.

In my opinion signature like this

http://www1.coe.neu.edu/~nelson/img/052004/sigs/RS6_6.jpg

are too big.

vBulleting (forum software) is set not to accept these large signs but it still does.

So please remove manually (Klint). Thank you! :0:

[Klint]

No Problemo, Erik. :0:

Shame...I liked that one.

Weird though, pixel size the pictures are on the big(ger) size, but they're a peice of cake to load, with no delay(s) at all. That's with GPRS/56k connection....ah wells.

[Aronis]

the size of that image file is also related to the color gambit, it's mostly black so it loads faster, since it is a smaller file than if it had more colors in it, I think....

by the way, what is 'post whoring?' Anything like post hole drilling?

:p

[Klint]

is this... :hihi:

I got nothing wrong with it myself, of course, look who has 1000+ posts anyway! :D

I have not had a chance to play with the files themselves.
I will probably make them a bit smaller, but will have to play with it to make sure the text portion won't get fuzzy.

It appears that this mix of RS6 drivers and Computer Users has a good selection of Graphics Users with some expertise...

I have noticed some VERY nice pics posted with very high resolution, from digital cameras...my understanding is that you have to have a knack for picking the proper resolution to post a picture.

There is one of the front of an RS6, and you can see the detail in the radiator! sharp as can be....
