City street settings for compact cars, EVs and commuter sedans

City settings suit cars bought for commuting, but streets come with signs, shopfronts and other cars. The City street button describes a quiet street with the buildings behind gently blurred, which keeps those details soft. Readable street signs or storefront names in the result should be regenerated, since a specific place implies something about where the car is.

Light direction matters more in a city scene than on a plain backdrop, because buildings throw obvious shadows. If your source photo was taken in flat light, a street lit by hard sun from one side will not match the car. Shoot in open shade or on an overcast day and you can use almost any city setting convincingly.

Check scale: parked cars, curbs and doorways behind your car should be the right size for its distance from them. A sedan that looks as tall as a shop doorway has been placed wrongly. City scenes also work for social posts about new arrivals; resize the image for a Facebook post once the scene looks right.

• No readable shop names or street signs
• Shadows falling the same way as on the car
• Background cars and doorways at a believable size
• Curb and car on the same ground level
