As much as I wanted too...

As much as I wanted too, I convinced myself not to quit trying to do edits...

I took the advice about the edges and lighting, and this is the best I could do... compression murdered this one :'(

A great improvement! The cut-out looks much smoother than your previous attmepts although the lighting is a bit off. Be sure you're taking the screenhot and the same of time as it is in the photo. Also, the plane looks a bit stretched; try to keep it proportional. Good job, keep going!  ;)

This is a great improvement on you last edit.  The plane and backdrop have similar lighting and quality so they blend well.  You can still see where you erased the other plane, although it is much less noticeable this time around.  Also it looks like you didn't blur the edges, nice :D.
It's my opinion that you shouldn't do photo/phot composites as you can't make a photograph look any more realistic than it already is.  I would suggest editing screenshots.  If you're having trouble getting a good screenshot for a composite, try posting some raw shots in studio V and work on those skills first.
Keep up the good work, and i know you trying your best.


thanks a bunch 8-)

Oooooooooh! Hey! No reason in the world to stop doing edits, Nick!  :)

Do you remeber when you were learning how to tie your shoe laces? Do you remember when you were learning how to tell time or to write in script instead of printing everything? It's exactly the same deal, Nick! You didn't even think about giving up with those things. You were simply determined to keep going with them until you got it! This is no different!

You CAN do this AND you can do it WELL! There is no question about that! Just be calm and patient with yourself. Take your time. Experiment. Listen to the tips from the more experienced guys. Most importantly, keep doing it! Every time you make one you'll learn something new! The more you make, the more you'll learn!

Everyone is rooting for you, Nick. You can't miss!  8-)

You have to look very hard at this shot to find anything even slightly wrong with it, and if you feel an impulse to do that you shouldn't be here in the first place!!

Really really good, it looks real...the plane especially came straight from a flight sim, and yet looks realistic enough that it fooled me for a few seconds after seeing this edit.
