I need a little help...how do you cut the rim out of a picture? How do you get a perfect circle that covers the entire rim and none of the rest of the background?
Any help would be appreciated...let me know if this does not make sense...all I wanna do is cut a rim and paste in on a car...thanks

 

enlarge pic and use the lasso tool

 

I use the lasso tool to cut out the rim, but like you, I was looking for a better way to cut a perfect circle.

 

theres a circle tool on the toolbar



its called the "Marquee tool" open it and it should be in there



/welcome

 

Thanks guys...but like Britain...I thought that there was a better tool than that...I guess you just have to keep trying until you lasso it perfectly, huh?

 

ah, I didnt know you could turn the marquee tool into an ellipse. nice! now you just merge photos and move the wheel to the other car.

Not to steal this thread, but how do you change color? the only way Ive figured out makes it a flat, dull color with no shading or reflection at all- just dumping color over the car.

 

give me the pic and ill do it because its kinda complicated if your doing an object with shadows and curves and stuff like a car

 

post up the pictures and someone will do it in there spare time

 

change color = desaturate > change the hue / saturation / brightness

 

here you go

 

no takers?

 

It took about a minute. But I'm headed out to see HHGTTG. Did you want the wheel without the car, the car without the wheel, and did you need back and front or just back?

 

is this what you wanted?

 

I wouldn't see the point, actually, of taking wheels OUT of a photo. Laying new ones into the photo does not require removal of the previous. (it would be an unnecessary step) And the one above this has rough edges. Here is a png with transparency of just the wheels. The one of the car without the wheels is too large, and jpg's don't do transparency.

 

put a pic of the rims you want on the car and well do it for you...

TopTech, i just did that to see if thats what he wanted, it took me 30 seconds to do that...
