This is the original, but I didn`t like all that stuff around it or it on the trailer. Look real close in the passenger side windshield. There is a tiny tuba there!!! I DIDN`T put it there????? Don`t ask me. I was confused when I was editing & saw that tuba!! Sharon

	dinky42055 201007301456 This is what Julie wanted to see. This is the original of my car. I don't like all that junk around it. It took me a long time to paint the b/g black & now it doesn't look right. I am so frustrated. I don't know how to pick it up & put it in a different pic. HELP!!! Sharon
	juliehall 201007301510 Sharon if this can wait till I get home tonight I can show you what I would do, but I don't have editing here at work. Don't get frustrated....this is a beautiful shot and you are right to want to make it better. Do you have a selection wand in any of your editing programs?
	juliehall 201007301512 I have photoshop elements and it will allow me to deslect the car only and then I can clone and blur and burn out the background until I am happy. I can also change the perspective of the car for variation.
	juliehall 201007301513 i like the ground on this too.
	dinky42055 201007301519 Yeah, I like the ground too. I didn't think about leaving the ground when I was getting rid of all the other stuff. If the truck was sitting on the ground, with maybe a blue sky this would probably look nice. Don't you think? sharon
	juliehall 201007301521 I do think and I kinda like the building with the menu sign and the old air conditioner. maybe try a tighter crop, clone in more sky, clone out the trailer, oh this will be so much fun to play with. tomorrow morning i'll have a couple hours free and i'll do a few different ideas and you can see
	juliehall 201007301521 you think.
	dinky42055 201007301637 That is fine with me. The problem will be you will get a great edit out of it & I won't know how to duplicate it. I really haven't cloned anything, layered or selected and moved anything. All I do is crop, play with contrast, sat & colors. Sharon
	nancyb926 201007301708 Sharon....with limited editing you could crop off the SUV behind the truck and off the top so that the roof is the upper border of the frame...and the bottom....
	nancyb926 201007301712 then mess with the saturation, colors or whatever to add depth to the truck
	dinky42055 201007301757 Thanks Nancy. I will play with it some more. Sharon
