    I've posted a pic of my car and motorbike here I like the composition but the setting is dreadful. I can mask the car and bike so that I can drop them onto a different background but how do I replace the reflections to match the background?

    a bit of time you could do it.
    you could put another photo on it then use transparent and fether it or tint your windows that solves them ,then use clone to cover the reflection up.

    Terry, thanks for help.

    Unfortunately you have now made me think so some additional problems. If I apply a transparent layer will it not also show the reflections that I don't want? Also it will not be distorted to follow the contours of the car (particularly the door).

    I'm concerned that trying to clone out the reflections will leave a very unnatural looking car. Something like the Mk3 Cortina I tried to respray with cans from Halfords (not pretty).

    To quote a well known phrase RTFM !!!

    I've just found this in the technique section. It could be the answer to my problem
