Read this first!:  Face it, you're ugly.  Do the world a favor and limit your face exposure by putting some tint on your car.  Here is a quick and simple method for adding tint.  There are other methods as well, this is just one.


What we want to do is add some window tint to this very handsome Porsche 911 Turbo.  After all, it looks hot there!

 

 

 


Our first step is to outline all areas where tint would be.  So we're going to select the side windows and rear window using the polygon lasso.  Don't select the windshield!  That would be illegal!

Tools used this step:
Poly Lasso

 

 

 


After we've made our selection, we are going to create a new layer by either clicking on the "New Layer" icon, or by going:
-Layer
   -New Layer

Then use the paint bucket to fill the selection with black (or any other tint color you choose).

Tools used this step:
Paint Bucket

 

 

 


Now we are going to lower the opacity of our layer.  The opacity can be found at the top of the layer window as shown:

 

 

 


Ta-da!  Now people won't see how ugly you really are!

 

 

 


 

TIPS:
1) For the more advanced user, we can add some reflection and glare to the window.
2)  Keep in mind that if the window on one side of the car has tint then the other side probably has it to!  Be tricky and select the window on the other side of the car and create a new layer and do the same tinting steps. This will achieve a higher level of realism.
