I use the lasso tool but it is almost impossible to keep clicking around the car and get it perfect. Do many of you use that tablet where you use a stylo to draw around what you want to remove. I've noticed on lots of the flowers the bg is filled with a color. How does one remove perfectly, like so many of you do? Maybe it just takesa lot of time and practice. Thanks....
I use two layers - convert the top one to black and white (so i can see what i'm doing) then use the eraser to remove the object from the top layer ( it will show through in colour from the bottom layer). Then i change the background of the top layer with either the fill tool or if i want to keep a little detail, like shadows, by reducing the saturation and brightness to almost black. Then i merge the two layers.
Thats probably a totally round the houses way of doing it but its the way i changed to doing it as, like you, i couldnt get decent results with the lasso - i felt they always looked like cut-outs. But my attempts are pretty amateurish - there are a couple in my gallery.
Really interested to hear any more answers to this as its something i was thinking about just tonight
Fab image!

When you use the lasso tool go to the feather tool in the tool bar and put about 15px in the box that will give you an idea of what you will be doing,adjust afterwards as nescessary.
well done,my friend

Good composition
Lovely shot of a lovely car. You've got the shine and tones etc. really nicely.
You may want to try some good books on technique for your b/g problem; authors like Martin Evening cover that sort of thing well. karenO's technique is good, too.
(No, I'm not an expert, so I'll shut up now!)
