I've never really tried proper photoshopping before so I downloaded GIMP which is a free alternative to the adobe photoshop. We use it in work for minor image rendering.

I tried to get the car to look like it was moving at speed from a stationary pic. It's really figity that's all I can say :P

I know it's not perfect but like I said it's my first go at this.

All comments and recommendations welcome :D

I'll have a few more go's over xmas and hopefully improve

That's pretty good I'd be proud of it

Pretty good for your first attempt. Gimp is not the easiest to get good results from.

keep playing around.. you'll learn loads :)

I'm lucky enough to have PhotoShop... never used GIMP.

I'd personally say if it wasnt for the slightly squared of wheels, that'd be an almost perfect Photoshop! Well done mate!

Stick at it!

Pretty good for a first effort.

Thanks for the comments guys!

I've had another go today, debating a new signature:
