i love older cars

i usually use a CP filter to take out the glare from the sun on the paint during those bright blue and sunny days

Good start! If you're looking for more ideas, see my link below. Several of those cars weren't within 100 miles of the backgrounds in the pics. :wink:

How did you make those cars look like they were in that scenery?

Anytime I try that in PS, it looks like a 2 year old w/dull scissors pasted the car on the background. :(

My favorite selection tool is the Polygonal Lasso, because it only anchors when you click. So, click, release, (NOT click & drag), move, click again... 'till you're done. If you click in a wrong spot, hit 'Del", NOT 'Esc', & the last anchor point will be removed.
Set it at 1-2 pixels Feather, but I usually use 1 on 'full' sized Tiffs.

The first secret, if there one, is that a curve is simply a series of straight lines if you blow it up enough, which is why I like this tool.
So, the 2nd secret is to make the pic BIG. No, BIGGER that that! Try 300%. You want to see the distribution of pixels along the edge & I draw the selection just inside of the outside edge.
If you ‘run out of’ pic, & need to move to a fresh area with it, just nudge the pic border & PS will scroll to the new area of the pic.

Remember, after you’ve made the primary selection, you may want to modify it.
Start a new selection by holding down ALT ‘till you click inside the previous selection, & you’ll be subtracting from the selection.
Start a new selection by holding down SHIFT ‘till you click outside the previous selection , & you’ll be adding to the selection.

After a while, you’ll be able to make a complex selection in about 5 minutes – not as fast as the ‘automatic’ selection tools, but you won’t have to spend time cleaning up the ‘automatic’ mistakes, either.

Don’t forget to save your selection in a channel. You may want to use it again.

Excellent!

niiiiiice
i love seeing more car pix!!!

I looooooooooooove the 1st one
altho, and i know you probably had to make a tight shot, but it would have been nice to get the very tip of that last vette
and i love that they are red white and blue.

the others seemed a bit under exposed
but still great

I was hoping you would respond. (Since you seem to be a car nut like me)

The 1st one was Photochopped to death. Most of the cars had their hoods up, & a few people popped into the frame.

Thanks.
