Title: How do you blank a numberplate on a picture?!
Post by: MattPoss on March 10, 2011, 09:16:38 pm

How do you do it properly and make it look decent?!

I've got Photoshop Elements 7 (which i'm not very good with), and obviously Paint and Photobucket

Cheers,
Matt

If you just want to remove the letters from the plate it is quite easy in photobucket.  All you need to do is edit, then grab colour, just click on the yellow of the plate, then select draw, select the correct size and just colour it in.  :happy2:

Edit: if you are looking to completely remove the plates then that is not easy to do. you would be bored to death doing to all pics. the best way is to take your plates of for pics.  :happy2:

I have the front plate on magnets, so it comes off for pics, and for shows.
A lot quicker to do this mod than keep editing pics.
Thoughif you put your pics in photobucket then you can add swirl marks in the edit field.

Yeah, that's a mod I'll do if/when I get a smooth grill with no numberplate plinth

I have a smooth one, may be interested in a part ex for yours as I am thinking of getting  a carbon grille to stick over it.

I prefer to see plain yellow/white plates rather than the horrible and distracting black swirl. If I'm blanking out a plate (someone else's) I use Photoshop CS and the Clone Stamp tool.
