The lack of response makes me think his thought processes are now "OH shite! They're on to me! To the bat cave!" Laughing

Ok, here's a quick attempt (not great I might add)...

Here's the original: http://www.dmacc.edu/programs/criminaljustice/club/dodge-viper-police-car.jpg

This is what I did:
1) I created two duplicate layers of the car, so I've got my original layer and two dupes.
2) Changed the Hue/Saturation/Lightness (select colorize) of the first Dupe layer to give it a bright blue hue
3) Changed H/S/L of the second Dupe layer to give it a Red hue
4) Changed the H/S/L of the original layer to make it dark and give it a bit of a blue tint.
5) Put the original (now dark) layer on top of the dupe layers
6) Add a layer mask to the original layer and use a large feathered brush (set to black) to "erase" where the light would hit (on the ground, on the car, etc.). If the blue layer is on top of the red layer, then this will give you all blue lights.
7) Add a layer mask to your top dupe layer and "erase" to reveal the red layer
Cool Add a new layer on top of all your layers and add a few more highlights of the blue/red to give it more definition.

Still doesn't quite look like "real" lights, but not too bad for a 15 min job. Definitely would tweak it more to give it a realistic light look. Hey, I'm trying to be helpful! Unlike Others around here.... Mr. Green

Nice one anzionite! I did one pretty close to the same, Just added a little more light and also a filter called movie prime. I think it's something new in CS2, works nicely on lights and stuff... Anyway I'm not good at explaining things, but it was fun turning the lights on and thought I would share... Smile

I understand your comment about giving instead of asking questions. I would be crushed against any contest on this site and I accept that. In the past I have come up with postings of categorizing tutorial sites to try to help out. That is how I can help.

In regards to the question, this is for myself. This is not for any contest on any site.

My lack of response? I posted it a few hours ago and have been in meetings, so there would be no quicker way to respond.

I am very thankful to your help to be able to make them look like flashing. Thank you again.
