Another Photoshop Question.... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Ok I know this is in the wrong forum, but the experts seem to hang out here the most.

I have been finally figuring out how to move/alter a pic a bit better now, but how the heck are you guys cutting out the pic of the truck so cleanly? (Lets say around the body, to lower it)

Mine always looks so jagged, or cut off pieces etc. Am I missing something?

Thanks!

I have been wondering the exact same thing. And also how do you guys change the color so easily?

The pen tool, which takes a little practice, is one way to make controled selections. The alpha (masking) channels are powerful too.

Changing the colors and leaving the reflections in the paint is done by the tools under edit>adjust> hue and saturation, selective color, etc. You can also layer a solid color over the photo and use screen, multiply etc. in the layer pallet for different effects.
