you take a pic with and without the hood, then photoshop it together. How the **** do you think people do it?

They take a saw, cut out a hole, and smooth the edges with a file to get the faded look.

Take one picture with the hood close and another with it open.
You open both images in PS.
Drag the one with the hood close to the image of the hood open.
Select the top layer.
Select eraser tool
Erase the area you want the bottom layer to show.

Wallah "see-throw" hood.

That's a rough how to. I haven't done it on a while so I might have left out some details. If you really want to learn how to use PS, go to Barnes and Noble and get a book on how to use PS. It is pretty awesome.

Like this?


I did that in Photoshop with relatively no difficulty.

Like others said,
Two images. One open and one closed.
Open in Photoshop.
Drag the closed hood image on top of the open hood image.
Align them properly.
*You could just marquee around the hood and start erasing, to make it easier to stay in the lines.
*Or, you mask. If you do not know how to use them, either learn or just use the eraser tool.
