Not sure if this is the right place to ask (if it's not please point me in the right direction), but I have been tapped to help out a co-worker with a project that has a pretty short deadline, especially regarding what needs to be done.

The co-worker has about 500 images of an automobile, and each image includes a peice of the car that has been removed. For instance, a peice of the bumper is removed, then on the next image the peice under that is removed, etc.

What they are wanting is to have the removed peices as seperate entities so the they can be used in the end-project that will consist of an animation showing all of the peices being removed from the automobile. This sounds like a huge, tedious task to me, and the only reason my name was brought up to help is because I am somewhat knowledgeable about Photoshop. I understand most of the tools and what not but the only way I know how to go about this project would be an image by image cropping and manual removal of said peices.

Are there any easier ways to go about this? Any other programs that may help with a task like this, such as maybe a way to grab differences within images and remove them automatically?

Any help greatly appreciated!

if i understand what you need to do....
you would need flash for the animation, animating the objects would be simple, however the tedious part would be prepping all the images for animation. the best way to do it would be (il explain by using a bumper falling off the car)

have the background image as the car with no bumper, then PS the image of the car with the bumper so that the only part of that image is the actual bumper (still with me :P ) so you could then layer just the bumper over the background image so it looks as if the bumper is attached to the car(in the background). you could easliy animate it falling off or whatever after that.
for this though youd need car with bumper pic and car without bumper pic 2 b at the same angle for it to look right.

if you send me a couple of pics i can show you what i mean. id gladly help out if you need it too.
