I`m trying to make the background in the picture below, plain white for my model car website. So far my attempts at doing this have been crap, I end up with smudged and broken outlines, the white seems to bleed in to the colour. I am using gimp. Please help!:bonk:

does your software have a magic wand ...

i use ps7 and all i did was select the magic wand tool on the shot it went all around the car the used a brush on the photo..

very basic but it has solid lines so was very easy to do...

md:thumbs:

if you dont let me know we should be able to do it somehow...

" goes off to search gimp :shrug:"

I found the fuzzy icon, I didn`t realise that was the magic wand. I will have a go with this, thanks for the link by the way.

Thanks MD your help is much appreciated.

Thanks also to mattyh. I should be able to attack it now :thumbs:

my work here is done....:lol:

ps a slight tweak on the sharpness for web would not hurt also a little more contrast imo
 
My 2p for what it's worth

Use a more reflective 'floor' - something very white & shiny will reduce or even remove the need for much if any PP work, perhaps a nice shiny tray or some such - worst way going a batch process could sort it

Good advice, I will have a go tomorrow and experiment with different surfaces. :thumbs:
 
In addition to all the excellent advice above... Viveza (Nik software) is an amazing tool, download the free trial and give it a go.
