How to Debadge a Car in Photoshop
When using a car as an image, sometimes an extra detail, such as a manufacturer's badge, can ruin the look you want to achieve. However, Photoshop contains numerous tools to erase the badge and make the vacated area look like a natural part of the car. By copying parts of the image and using the spot heal tool, you can replace a badge in the photo with a natural looking section of the car.
