Err umm.... Well I don't have a photo-hosting account anywhere... and the only decent pictures I have of the Monte are in my photo gallery on MCF lol.

I trust that whatever you come up with will be infinitely better than anything I could produce lol. And thanks! I really appreciate the help

Looks great! Let me ask you... how the hell do you cut them out so smoothly? I try magnetic lasso and feather and blah blah blah...but it never seems to look right...what am I missing?

When you open up photoshop you hit Q and then you are in quick mask mode, then you paint what you want to extract hit Q again so you are out of quick mask mode and there's your selection. Takes seriously 30 seconds a car

and remember [ is smaller brush and ] is larger brush. Good shortcut tips

You could probably google a good tutorial on quick-masking though

I know it takes longer but like JJ I use the pen tool to make a clipping path.

I only touch the pen tool for clipping masks if it's an important job / small intricate details. No need to pen tool such an easy shape as the top of the car. Just a waste of time IMO.
