Virtual Cars

Playing with the idea of placing cars into virtual settings, I tried several of the backgrounds.  I selected and placed my husband’s 2016 into various images.  I tried to select backgrounds with an angled perspective, and one that I could shift the angle if needed in Lightroom’s transform module, modify the scale, and easily add some extra foreground if needed.

These images HAVE NOT been painted… nor have I adjusted the lighting, the color balance or any of the adjustments that I would make to actually paint the image.  I’m just testing cars in backgrounds at this point, to see how hard it might be.  I actually did 10 in about 3 hours and it got much faster after I figured out how to adjust the background.  Picking images that didn’t need any cloning was really the key to working quickly.

Here is a quick gallery of 10 test backgrounds.
