How do I photoshop this?

I've been playing around with Adobe Photoshop 4.0 and so far I've figured out how to lower my car and paint it. I'm having trouble trying to put new wheels on it though. Can somebody explain how to do this? Thanks!

take i side pic of yor car, and get a straight on pic of the wheels. Than cut out the wheels so it is a circle. Than move the wheel circle pic onto you pic of the car. Than size them to fit.

How do I size just the wheel? Whenever I try to it always resizes the whole thing. What am I doing wrong? And cant I kinda pivot the wheel and put it in at an angle? I thought I've seen this done before. Help!!

Once you get the wheel on to your car pic there should be 2 layers. 1 for the car and 1 for the wheels. when you resize make sure it is under the "edit" menu then "transform" than "scale". And that you are on the wheel layer. Don't change the canvas size. You can put the wheels at an angle but it wont look right if the pic of the wheel was taken straight on. Let me know if that doesnt help.

When I try to move the wheel over onto the top of the car the wheel gets lost behind the car. How do I get it to show up? thanks for the help, I'm doing this right now!

Go to the layers box. Grab the wheel layer hold down and move to the top of the layer box.

Thanks, I'm doing alot better now. I just need a little more practice, and some sleep, it's getting late. By the way, IROC wheels look really good on a Grand Prix! Thaks again

Look on your keyboard..above the arrows, insert, delete, etc..
I don't think it actually prints your screen with anything newer than windows 3.1 (from the early 90's)

Hit print screen then paste in paint, or wherever

pressing the alt key, shift key then print screen key at the same time will copy the current window, instead of the whole screen.
