Magic wand to select, then either the paint bucket or gradient tool. Gradient might look a little more natural. Here's my 20 second effort, problem's the hair.

I was describing how you would do it, I was just seeing how easy it was. Another method is the extract filter, but that usually looks fake.

Honestly I tried this a few times, and decided it was WAY easier to take the photo right the first time. If you can paint then reshoot do it. If not you could outsource the work. I would expect doing this fix for 200 images would take you days of work.

If the movie Deckham posted doesn't help, this might be a job for one of the advanced masking plugins such as Fluid Mask. Masking hair and getting it to look right can be a real nuisance.

Here is my 10 minute attempt. I just slightly altered the background color.

EDIT: I could clean up that one little spot above the hood but again it was just a quick attempt

There are many tips around if you look hard enough. this link was sent to me a long time ago when I had a similar problem to you. It takes a while to get the hang of it - but just run it on your 2nd monitor (if you have one) while you're working until you have it stuck in your head.

not great but what i did was used quick mask to grab the big stuff, then used the other tools to fine tune the selection till i got almost all of the car. then i just used hue/saturation to turn it white. i then made layer mask and painted in my mistakes till it looked like car again. I think my white was a bit too white but not hard to fix.

This took about 15 minutes, but the results are not bad. Also, I would not go with pure white walls - just clean light walls. Stark white looks really fake.

I can professionally edit your photos to make the background one color...Not for free of course ;). It will take tome to do each of your files.
