Great TUT. For an alternative to Step 3 :
– Duplicate base layer first and name it Vehicle
– Make a selection from the Car shape you just traced
– Go to select modify and contract by 1 or 2 pixels
– Click on add vector mask to mask out the background.
– Make sure the mask is selected on the vehicle layer
– Then go to filter blur Gaussian Blur and give it a 1px-1.4px or less
blur
This softens the edges and adds to the realism of the composite.
You can also create a light spill using the same steps above on the background. Subtlety makes a lot of difference.
Cheers.
