Hoe did ya do it? :paranoid:
- I added a quickmask on the car (painted on with brush)
- went out of quickmask, inversed the selection
- radial blur with zoom, value 15, moved off-centre (to the left)
- changed HUE till I had that pale blue
- added quickmask selection on the windows and headlights and changed hue again
- selection around the headlights and changed levels and contrast
- cropped the pic
- done

I was lucky; I know someone at canon and managed to get the 18-55mm USM, 55 – 300mm USM for the price of the none USM, laff. Oh, I got the BG for free as well :D
the 18-55mm Canon kitlens is shite....it blurs around the edges......at least, that's what all reviewsites say

it's almost at the bottom of the left toolbar....if you're going into that mode you can "paint" a selection. I paint areas I want to select with a brush (colour black) and you see it becoming translucent red on the photo. When you click the "normal" mode button again, you've actually selected that area around it, so you have to inverse the selection.

It's the easiest way to have a selection in your photo IMO.

not bad, work on precise selection methods....you can expand, contract the selection too if you want. Sometimes I use Feather (CTRL+SHIFT+D) to soften the edge of the selection to give it a more transitional effect when I throw a filter or color edit on it.

the best method i've found to achieve what you're trying to, is to use the "Magic Lasso" tool (the one with the magnet? next to it -- it snaps to contours of the actual photo) and with that, trace the outside of your object. after that, go into quickmask and clean up the parts that Magic Lasso didn't do very well on.

good luck with it :)

Saturn, i didn't buy it for the lens. and at 18mm it's as good as any other 18mm lens, only at 55mm it's not good.

ToxicBaby, i also bought this

http://www.canon.co.uk/For_Home/Product ... 56III_USM/

and this

http://www.canon.co.uk/For_Home/Product ... f3556_USM/

so shut the fuck up.

the 18-55mm kitlens isn't sharp around the edges of lens....they often suggest just to buy the body and get another and better lens

Congratulations, you bought two noob lenses, and one of them is completely useless if you've got the other one. Clue? You have a 75-300mm and a 28-200mm, why two useless, slow, soft, beginner telephoto lenses? Ok, I know that you can't afford a proper telephoto, but you could at least get a decent lens like a 24-70mm f/2.8 instead of that 28-200 crap. Either way, I don't like zooms, hence I stick to quality, trusted primes that blow any lens under $1000 away sharpness and color-wise.

Oh yeah, what are you gonna shoot with a 300mm at f/5.6? Better bring a tripod and shoot your neighbour's books or something. Its too slow for shooting sports or wildlife, which are about 99% of what a telephoto lens is used for.

Dude, my Sigma 50mm f/2.8 EX Macro has a fucking slow AF, its not meant to shoot sports. Btw, it *is* quality, it is the sharpest 50mm on the market, from any manufacturer. Your shitty f/3.5-5.6 noob lenses can't even compare to my primes. I had a Canon 28-80mm f/3.5-5.6 II kit lens that came with my EOS 300 and since I purchased the Sigma, I never used that fucking piece of shit lens again, ever, and then I sold it to some idiot. The optical quality cannot be compared. Then I bought a Canon 24mm f/2.8 and its a sharp as fuck wide angle, which puts the Canon 17-40 f/4.0 L to shame, I'm not even talking about that 18-55mm kit lens shit. Go read some reviews of real quality lenses and then think why you buy your F/3.5-5.6 shit.
