Snip Snip

After looking at my car image that I had selected for the front cover I noticed several things I would have to be aware of when cutting the image.

The first of these was the lack of contrast between the Car and the black background which told me I would have to select and then cut what I needed manually. On further inspection I noticed that most of the lines were straight in the image and I could use the  Polygonal lasso to cut it.
