# can I get some pointers on this


aside from the dodgy line round the bottom of the image, how can I blend in the front.

pasting over the wheel was fine, but then trying to sort the transition round the front of the car has me stumped

# try
just going over the edge of the side layer with a soft eraser with ~50% opacity until it looks right.

# cheers,
I was going to animate it aswell, but this is hassle enough.

I will have to see,

# If you use a darker background for the floor, the seams won't show as much
So you'd better add a shadow layer behind the car.
It'll blend better *and* look more realistic :)

# Gaussian Blur is your friend...


Come to think of it so is motion blur and opacity of your shadow
