Default Removing Car

I took this pictures for some friends and they want to use it as their christmas photo however my car is parked in the background!!! Does anyone have any tips on how to take it out is photoshop? I have tried matching the asphalt color then painting over it and adding a texture but it just doesnt look quite right. Any other suggestions? Thanks so much

I think the palm tree is more distracting than the car. I would crop both out if possible. Other than that, nice picture.

You should be able to clone stamp the asphalt and the curb and make it look pretty good.

maybe ?

like acedrew said...cloned where I could. Still, I ended up painting black on a separate layer, adding noise to get some texture then reduced the opacity of the layer. Copied the back ground layer added blur to the background. Ah, not that good over by his arm but i was looking for the process more than anything.

I would mask out the entire background except for the palm tree and layer in a soft natural landscape.
