That'd be brilliant Tim, Thanks!!
I have got Photoshop Elements 5 but I am still learning so i'm quite slow!
I am getting there but probably doing everything the 'long-way-round'!!
Working on one now....

because i could just cut out the car from all the pics and you have a play yourself? Or just send me some pics via PM and i'll chuck em on for you.

Or i could just see what i can find

...bit wobbly here and there though!! lol

Does this look too false? - sunlight from wrong direction etc....

The only problem with them is (funny as this may sound) the car's too shiny, you can see the reflection of the buildings on the side of the car which makes it hard work putting it on a snowy bg for example and making it look real.

That's where i'm completely stuck...I have no idea how to 'de-shine' or give it a different reflection!

Can anyone else help me a little on this?
I just need a few more to complete the set of 12!
I've been working pretty hard on these but i'm just not as good on photoshop as the rest of you!
Some of the one's I have done just look 'ok' but not too realistic.
Thought about putting a santa pod background on one but I'd be happy with any backgrounds you can come up with....feel free to go for it!!
Thanks so much guys for your help so far x

Sorry Tim, I had misread your last post!

I have started on this one and 'bedded' it in the grass a little but don't know how to get rid of the reflections on bonnet and roof.

Santa Pod options could be:

Others I quite like are:

I also had a shot at:

That's brilliant Tim, thanks. I had a go at that one myself but it looked pants compared to yours and I decided not to use it...but it's back in now thanks to you!

I take it the snow ones December? Really good idea by the way - I got a photo calander for my parents last Xmas, but would love one of these for my car.

Kodak gallery do them for you - just Â£14.99 and the delivery on other stuff i've ordered from there has been pretty impressive.

What do people think of the grassy one in fromt of Cardington hangers? Anyone good at removing the reflections?

Also, anyone fancy a bash at the Santa Pod one? ....pretty please?! x
