Add New Rims

Author: Crunked-Designs.com More by this author


1. Starting off you will need 2 things. A photo of the car you want to do up and some nice rims that you would like to add. Here are my two starting images.



2. Starting off with the new rims you would like to add to your car. Using the Pen Tool (press P) carefully select around the wheel. Here's my selection.



3. Now go to the Paths pallete, right click on your Work Path, and select Make Selection with 0 radius and anti-aliased checked.



4. It should select your wheel, press Ctrl + x to cut it out.

5. Now switch back to your car picture, and press Ctrl + v to paste it down. Move it off to the side for now, and switch back to the original layer with the car on it. Zoom into 500-600%.

6. Using the Pen Tool again, cut out the old wheel. Finish your path. Goto the Paths palette, right click on the Work Path, and select Make Selection as before.

7. This time press the Delete key on your keyboard to delete the selection. Now it's time to make your new wheel fit! Make sure the wheel layer is behind the layer with the car on it. And move it roughly on top of the hole.



8. If your new wheel is clearly too big like mine is, with the wheel layer selected hit Ctrl + T (to transform it). Now hold down shift to maintain proportions and make your wheel smaller.

9. Still doesn't look right? Using either the Pen Tool as mentioned before or more simply, the Lasso tool cut out some more space around the wheel cavity, and press delete. This will enable more of your new wheel to show.

10. Finally, if your wheel does not look correct with the back one, then use Edit
> Transform > Skew and/or Edit > Transform > Perspective. Play around with those until you find something that fits.

11. And here is my finished car with the new front rim! I had it looking good, but the more i played with it, the worse it got. Anyway, enjoy!
