WHEEL SWAP
A few Pointers before you start:
-Make sure that the picture of the car and the picture of the rims are at relatively the same angle, makes it much easier.
-Try and take rims that are on a car, that way you get the Disc brakes and natural lighting to give it a realistic look
First, find your two victims of choice. one picture being of the rims you want and the other of which you will be putting the rims on.
Then, goto the picture that you will be taking the rims from, grab your Polygon Lasso Tool:
Cut around the rim with the Polygon tool, make sure to get it as close as you can!
Next, go Ctrl+C to copy the rim that you selected, then goto the picture which you will be putting the rims on and Ctrl+V (paste) the rim onto that picture. The rim should be on a layer of its own:
Now while having the Layer of the rim selected, go Edit->Transform->Distort. You should end having it looking like this:
Now drag you can click and hold inside the rim, and drag it to the spot where you want to put the rim on, then simply adjust all sides by grabbing and moving the 4 dots at each end, untill the rim is fitted similar to where the other one was. Then hit the Enter button on your keyboard. Something like this:
Now the next part that most people forget is to get the rims to comprimise with the lighting and shadows of the picture. So still having the Layer of the rim selected, you can go
-Shift+Ctrl+B
-Shift+Ctrl+L
-Alt+Shift+Ctrl+L
-then Adjustments-> Brightness/Contrast for final Touches.
Check out how much better it looks!
Now do the same process all over again for the Back Rim:
-Polygon select it from the rim picture
-Ctrl+C the rim, then Ctrl+V the rim in the car picture
-Edit->Transform->Distort the rim
-fit the rim on
-finish off with your final touches.
And the final Product comes out like this!
