Default Photoshop EXPERT needed.

OK, I have the picture below which is facing to the left. I need it facing to the right like the sample I made. The problem is that I need a few items to look right when flipped. I am hoping one of the PS experts can help. I would like the writing on the tire to be in the correct direction (or no writing, but look natural), the "CORVETTE" lettering on the front to be in the right direction, the Z06 logo to be the right way, and (don't kill me) the flags to be the right way. Is there anyone here that has enough talent to do this? I am looking to put the picture in our newsletter, but the current direction just will not work.

Original (smaller than actual):


Preferred orientation:

Thanks to anyone good enough.

I would love to just take another pic, but it's not my car. It is a member car that we are thinking of using as a cover shot for our newsletter. As a cover shot, it would have much better flow pointing to the right.

Regarding the gas tank, I think that would be about the easiest thing to PS out. I wish I had the skills.

Yup, I mentioned that in the original thread. Here's what needs to be done.....

A) Corvette lettering reversed
B) Z06 badge reversed
C) C5 Flags reversed
D) Tire lettering reversed or removed (but look natural).
E) Gas tank cover removed.
F) If you are REALLY good, how about the Corvette lettering on the front caliper?
G) Bring World Peace

See, nothing too hard.

If anyone thinks they have it, rather than having to host a big pic themselves, you can email it to me at:

Thanks!
