Looks great! The only thing I see is you missed a little around the back of the front wheel well. It is almost impossible to see but it should curve in a little like in the back. Probably not quite as much as the back. Excellent job of clipping around all the chrome, etc!

After I posted it I noticed that to, with it being black is it was alot harder than I thought it would be to follow the edges in the shadowed areas

sometimes if you play with the image brightness and contrast, you can see the defining line better.

Nicely done with the color replace! I can't get it to work becuase I have so much color in the background of all my truck pictures...

I use a program called micrographix (it's the only one I know how to use worth a damn), anyone else use it if so how does it compare w/ photoshop

it looks more realistic the lines around the edge are alot softer and more evenly blended, mine seem to hard and out of place w/ the background. I could probably figure out how to do it over time, but yours definetly looks more believable.

the truck was a friends truck he wanted to sell, so we posted it on our website to help him out and it was the only good solid color truck picture I had.
