Default Want to Make a Poster with a Pic of my Car

I've been looking for a website that I can take a pic of my car and put a nice background on it for my garage (ex. racetrack or scenic background).

Does anyone have a website that they are happy with.

I found a couple websites, but when I upload my pic, it doesn't completely match my car.

Thank you in advance.

Agree with using chatgpt. I have used it to make various desktop backgrounds and iphone wallpapers. What I have found works best is telling chatgpt "I need a prompt" then describing exactly how i want the picture to look. Then it will give me a prompt which I then use to generate the pictue. For example

Create an ultra-premium vintage automotive collector poster using my uploaded Corvette as the HERO vehicle and primary visual focus. POSTER STYLE: • Inspired by high-end retro manufacturer advertisement posters • Minimalist luxury layout • Large faded typography dominating the upper half of the composition • Clean museum-quality design • Mix of modern editorial design and vintage automotive brochure aesthetics • Soft matte paper texture • Warm desaturated cinematic color grading • Slight film grain • Sophisticated collector-edition vibe • Layout should feel like something framed in a luxury garage, automotive lounge, or design studio VEHICLE RULES: • Preserve the EXACT make, model, year, paint color, body lines, proportions, reflections, and stance of my real Corvette • Keep the Corvette fully recognizable as MY actual car • DO NOT redesign the body • DO NOT add widebody parts • DO NOT alter headlights, vents, mirrors, or factory proportions • Preserve realistic panel gaps and reflections • Maintain photorealistic realism MY CORVETTE DETAILS: • 2023 Chevrolet Corvette C8 Stingray • Elkhart Lake Blue • Lowered stance approximately 1 inch • Aggressive flush fitment • Bronze aftermarket wheels • Black roof, black A-pillars, and black mirrors • Clean high-end street car aesthetic COMPOSITION: • Portrait poster orientation • Corvette positioned in the lower-middle section of the frame • Slight front 3/4 angle • Car should feel dominant but elegant • Large negative space in upper half for typography • Background should feel cinematic and believable BACKGROUND OPTIONS: • Desert highway at golden hour OR • Modern coastal road OR • Luxury downtown street OR • Clean industrial automotive district TYPOGRAPHY STYLE: • Massive faded text behind the car reading: “CORVETTE” • Smaller text above: “2023 CHEVROLET” • Use ultra-clean tall sans-serif typography • Typography should blend subtly into the background rather than overpower the car • Include tasteful technical-spec layout elements throughout the bottom section BOTTOM SECTION DETAILS: Include subtle technical blueprint-style graphics: • Side profile outline drawing • Front view outline drawing • Wheelbase dimensions • Technical specifications in small clean text Examples: ENGINE 6.2L LT2 V8 HORSEPOWER 495 HP TRANSMISSION 8-SPEED DCT DRIVETRAIN RWD TOP SPEED 194 MPH Include: • VIN/chassis style numbering • “Collector Edition” numbering • Signature-style script text • Small circular certification/emblem graphic • Minimal premium automotive branding aesthetic COLOR PALETTE: • Cream/off-white background • Warm gray typography • Soft black shadows • Bronze wheel accents • Deep cinematic blues from the Corvette paint • Overall muted luxury tones LIGHTING: • Golden hour lighting • Soft long shadows • Refined reflections • Premium automotive photography lighting • Natural atmospheric haze FINAL STYLE: • Hyper-realistic • Cinematic • Elegant • Timeless • Luxury automotive art poster • Instagram-worthy but sophisticated • Looks professionally designed by an elite automotive creative agency • Should feel worthy of being printed as a large-format collector garage poster

I used to make show boards for my car years ago, and rather than spend hundreds from some "pro" I learned how to do it for about $25. You can use PowerPoint to create large poster size printouts from your creations, including photos. Create your content as poster size, save as a pdf, and take it to any of the major office supply store chains. They can print on paper, or as I like on foam board. If you want any official logos, etc you can get off any internet sight by right clicking and saving the image. For my 78 Pace Car, I grabbed Indy500 logos, Chevy logos etc. To complete my poster. It is all much easier than you think! I did 3 different designs in about 2 hrs total.

Thanks everyone. I'm playing around on Chat gpt right now. It looks like the easiest, cheapest, and best way to go.

Create a new thread and start by posting your prompts and resulting photos. I'll make it a sticky thread.
