When this contest was started that design wasn't finished yet. They also didn't want to show or talk about their cooler since they didn't want any other companies to copy the design.

I'll ask them again today though to see if we can at least get a fan color!

Thats cool, just wondered as some of their stuff for the IceQ has a blue fan, but the reference cooler is the ATI red.

Like you said its just a question, worst they can say is no :mrgreen: and to be honest I'm hope'n for the blue.

Well here's my shot at the contest, hadn't used GIMP too much before but it's quite a nice program :) And great website btw, wish I'd known more about it before!

I have a paint shop pro question. I have psp7 installed. I load my pic and the die.psd into psp. I then click mask, then choose mask from image. It crops my image appropriately, but I it goes completely light. I have to then jack the contrast up through the roof to get it anywhere close to the original. The colors go from crisp and vibrant to dull and dark. Any suggestions?

The red layer in the original PSD is set at something like 70% opacity.

Is that opacity being retained when you stick your image into that layer?

Here is my design. "Slay The Dragon!" Thanks for a great contest. This was a lot of fun! I have learned a lot about Photoshop.

It looks like it's being jacked up to 100%. I've tried manipulating it before and after adding the mask and nothing has worked so far.

Looks like a kitted Toyota Soarer to me... Carbon Fibre ATW!

that was my first thought because of what looks like the fog lights, but the headlights and the rest of the lines are wrong kitted or not.

edit: found it. Its a 370z. Not sure what that circle that looks like an sc400/soarer foglight is. First result in a google image search for "body kit 370" will get you the original image though. Nice car.
