Q: What tool did you use to export the elements (i.e. windows, windshield, wheel)
A: I used the magic wond, however the pen tool could be used as well, especially for more precision.

Q: What tool did you use to remove the rig?
A: Clone tool with a big clone stamp, worked in layers and masked out any part I didn’t want clone afterwards, which you can also erase over if you don’t like masks.

Q: How did you mask in the sky?
A: Pasted the sky in two layers, one for left side and one for the right side of the sky. Used the free transform tool to get the proper angle. Then masked out any parts of the sky over the bride, car, etc.

Q: How did you mask in the sky in the reflection of the ground?
A: Copied the sky into a layer, turned the layer opacity down to around 10-15%.

Q: How did you add in the turned tire reflection into the ground?
A: Lots of patience…

Q: Why did you add a turning wheel opposed to keep the straight one from the raw?
A: I thought it added more character to the picture.
