Cutouts

I brightened and added some contrast to the picture first and then proceeded to add a white layer.  I outlined the part I wanted cutout with the quick selection tool and then I moved the cut out onto the white layer. After that I refined the edges by smoothing them out as well as adding a slight shadow.

I just took a picture of my car and once again added some brightness and contrast.  I used the same technique to cut it out with layers and at the end I refined the edges to smooth them out a bit.
