Well, it's just magic, of course, and one day, when AI is advanced, you'll just be able to say, "Photoshop, change that Ford into an Austin seven and put a sunset sky in." And, hey presto, it will happen. Unfortunately, at the moment, you have to do it the boring way by taking a picture of a Seven and carefully cutting it out in Photoshop and then, by messing with colour, contrast and blur, trying to match the overall picture "texture". Remove the image of what's being replaced and extend by 'copy and paste' the background into the now blank section. Drop the new car into the picture, make it sit as well as possible and mock-up the ground on which it stands by adding shadows, etc. Improving the usually bland sky can be difficult if trees and branches are involved - and often takes ages to get an acceptable result. Yes, there are all sorts of magic shortcuts and options in the full version of Photoshop, but most of these are limited in effectiveness and sheer boring handwork is often the only solution. I'm no expert at this - you should see what a full-time professional can achieve!
