Is it the lasso tool that you use to say...lower the body of a car? I used it the other night and it worked great...only problem was that I couldn't let up on the left mouse click and that after I moved the body of the car down...there was areas where the original body was that was just black...any suggestions?

when i get to the adjustment layer part.. i can get the background to change but nothing else. (everything that hasent been lasoed)

Hi. It sounds like you have everything selected BUT the car - to invert your selection, go to Select: Invert or hit Apple-Shift-I on a Mac or Ctrl-Shift-I on a PC.

As for the Quick Mask settings, simply double-click on your Quick Mask Mode button, and it brings up the settings. "Color indicates masked areas" means that it colors off everything that's not selected. If the car is colored off, you need to invert your selection, either by doing what I mentioned above in "regular selection mode", or if you're still in Quick Mask mode go to Image: Adjustments: Invert or Apple-I on a Mac or Ctrl-I on a PC.

Hope that helps, ask any more questions you have.

I've seen all kinds of high res pics on here. Where do you all find them? I found a few on supercars.net, but not too many normal cars.
