After a bit of work on this VB SL/E…

Chasing some work on a friends VB.

– Try and delete the metal fence at the rear of the car, to simulate that the carpark does not stop there but continues further past the edge of the image.
– Change the ground behind the car to a continuation of the concrete the car is parked on.
– Continue the concrete wall in front of the car, replacing the black metal fence
– Remove the join in the concrete wall.
– Remove the weeds against the wall if possible.
– Remove the metal pole at the far left edge of the photo.
– The wheels usually have a Simmons cap on the hub, similar to the link below – try add something to the wheels to cover the hub.
– Remove the key guard around the front door lock.
– ‘Close’ the drivers window, as it was open a touch in the photo.
– Tidy up as you see fit, but please don’t change anything else on the car.
– Clean up the photo, its a bit washed out…
– Depending on how it turns out, perhaps rotate the picture a touch just so the car sits level… not concerned about this if the end result is no good.

Idea is to have a very clean, minimalist industrial looking backdrop, with the car being the only focus of attention but still retaining a minor level of detail in the surrounding area.

Image of the car (deliberately did not put in image tags) — http://i.imgur.com/Tkun7Hp.jpg

Many thanks in advance, this will bring a huge smile to a close friend of mine as it is something I would love to get professionally printed and framed.

If a higher-res image is sought, the original is 4128*2322 and can be emailed/etc.

Jesus, don’t want much do you lol. Would almost be worth just taking the photo again.

But I like a challenge. I’ll do it tomorrow mate. Should be able to do everything requested.

Some backgrounds are easy to manipulate ;)  others not so…

Everything in that photochop was not too hard to do overall, just a little time it all worked out well, hardest part was closing the window and getting that to look decent.

Thanks for the praise. haha
