[Changing the Color of a Cushion in a Realistic Way]

Thanks!  I guess I picked kind of a hard one for a beginner but I'm working on it.

[Changing the Color of a Cushion in a Realistic Way]

Hey y'all,

   It's been awhile since I've been on here, and I just started working with Paint.net again.  It's amazing what one forgets, lol.  Anyway, I have a question:

 

I have some pics of tree stands with cammo cushions and I want to change the cammo color to black vinyl, but in a somewhat realistic looking way.  Any ideas?

 

So, in the pic, I'd like to try and make the cammo seat look like black vinyl...

Ok, thanks.  This is a bit different than photoshop but I'm getting the hang of it.  Here is what I've done so far:

 

I like your advice, pdnnoob; I think I may try that.

When you say use the line tool, you mean duplicate the layer with the car and then trace around it with the line tool?  That's where I am confused.  I'd also like to add the dark blue lines that were in the original but I'm not really sure how. 

 

Thanks!

I've attached the pdn file, but I'm still having trouble.  I've essentially got it cut out but I can't get the glow around it and the cool lines and all that.  Thanks for the responses, everyone.

 

I'm sorry, the file didn't upload.  Here:

Hey y'all....

 

   I'm new here but have been using paint.net for a little bit.  I've been all over the tutorials but I can't figure this out.  I'm trying to make a nice looking website header, very much like this one:

 

 

  But, I'm having trouble.  I'm trying to replace the car with this one:

 

 

 

  So far, I can't seem to make it work.  I can get rid of the white block but I can't figure out how to make the muscle car fit.  I've tried cutting it out, doing some blurs, etc.  Any advice or tutorials that might help?
