and, how do you set it all to the same specs, and then position the cars perfectly so you know where the other car is going to be? I mean, you're working with one car at a time, right? so how did you get them all perfectly lined up like that, without seeing the other cars in the same scene???? :banghead:

Just remember, I do this for a living with real, full size photos.

Just remember the settings and position of the camera, I shot this at the highest 33mm setting and smallest possible f stop,f22 i think. Then I actually cut out around each car. I'll post some layered shots for you later.

and I meant the same camera angle, not the angle of the cars. I mean, it has to be pretty much perfect right... damn. I guess like anything, practice makes perfect.

Here we go...
The red outline is a 1 pixel stroke. I use it cause it hard to tell difference between
layers so similar.
1-
Drag and drop your second car onto background...
2-
Position 2nd vehicle. Reduce opacity to show original car for easier positioning.
3-
Bring opacity back up between 90-100% and carefully cut out (erase) around
2nd car. Sometimes I hide the layers to differentiate the car from foreground/background.
4-
Reduce opacity again, and carefully erase around original car. Use short strokes
so if you make a mistake and have to undo, you only undo a little at a time. Not
the whole thing. Once you do this step, you cannot reposition the car, so make
sure it’s where you want it.
5-
Bring opacity back up, remove red stroke, and clean up little details, like spoiler
and mirrors if any.
Flatten image and do the same for the next car.
You may have to rescale cars
with free the transform because of perspective.
Just practice
feel free to PM me with any specific questions

damn, I was afraid it would be the nitty gritty way like that... no easy outs, eh...
ok I'l have to give this thing a shot at some point. I'm no Photoshop expert but I've done my share of lasso'ing in the past.

when you save the picture - there is a dropdown menu - choose superfine. there is also a default setting to set this so you don't have to choose it each and every time, I believe it is in options, under Photo Mode.

tough call....... I like the M5.
btw your pics don't look "pixelated" anymore - I take it you figured out what you had to change?
