Hello fellow PSC'ers. I've been searching flickr, deviantart, stockxng and many other image sites for chrome images (not Google Chrome ) and so far no success with it. Only got some low res shots. What I would like are images of chrome (normally auto parts) to make a chop. HELP

EDIT: I found some on google but any help is still apreciated.

Why not make your own chrome? There's a bunch of techniques for making chrome in Photoshop.

One cool technique I've seen is taking any black and white photo and making it into chrome. I'm at work but I can hunt it up post it later if you want it.

DP I've already tried those
SOME good stuff but not all that I need, I was wanting something that looks more like this : http://www.fotosearch.com/UNZ001/u18523813/
without the absurd price, free.

It wont be as effective tofu, and I have little time. I need A LOT of time to learn how to imitate chrome, and for now time isn't in my favor. I want to make something close to photorealistic.
I've tried it before 6 hours for a piece of crap, nowhere near close
But if you could find it for future uses it would help a lot

thanks Jerry, the motor is a really useful pic, too bad its BW, I'll try to give it some color later

thanks marty, never seen that site before
Found a good chrome pic though

Solutions:

1. Pm Rey2....threaten to kick his "pea-soup" ass, if he don't give up the TUT for the Chrome Skull Ring.

2. Make it in PS...make a 300x 300 or so file. Make a Chrome gradient. Save as a layer STYLE. Apply as needed. Even on the chop next week.

3. Google is not too bad...Instead of searching for HI-res Images....Look for Chrome Wallpapers and Screen Savers. They are usually a decent size...and not to bad RES wise.
