SemiPro Tutorials

Step 1

Open a image of a car (the side photographs are much easier) and duplicate the layer. Hide the top one and move to the bottom one. Press D on your keyboard and drag the right node over to the left to distort the image.

Step 2

Hide the bottom layer, select and unhide the top layer, and erase everything but the wheels and fenders (and leave some areas surrounding the wheels).

Step 3

Now unhide, but don’t select, the bottom layer. Use the selection tool to select each wheel and move it above the smaller/squished wheels. Depending on your picture, the wheels should fit right into the spots. But don’t be temped to stop here.

Step 4

Use the eraser tool (put hardness up to 70%-100%) and erase the surroundings.  Don’t erase the wheels or fenders. You’ll notice a huge difference, there’s just no way to show this on a text tutorial; so compaire the previous image to the next one.

You’ll notice big differences right behind/in front of the fenders.

And that sums up this tutorial. I hope you liked it. For a tutorial on how I did the wheels, click here.
