Customizing!!!
 

Does anyone have any sites that I can go to to create and view a paint job. Im thinking of doing an incredibly custom color and definitly wanna see it before i go ahead and mix up the paint! Also I am wanting to customize other parts of my car as well to accent it, but its too custom of a color to just buy parts so im gonna hafta do it. If anyone has any good ideas?

You can do a lot w/PhotoShop or similar programs, and a picture of your favorite car.

Close.Mystep-daughter whois familiar w/and uses PSa lot wants the latest version and she claims it's around $800. I haven't priced it myself.
Since I've now got a Vista machine and all my favorite programs won't run on this stupid thing, I'm trying to learn how to manipulate Corel PhotoPaint Shop Pro XI ($100) which is said to have most of the same features, is more user friendly and has gotten really good reviews from a number of sources.
Can you afford $100?

thats a little more afforable but its only on vista and i wouldnt "upgrade" to vista even if it was free, the more i hear about it, it seems more like an expensive ass downgrade just more pretty.

yeah, my next computer is going to be windows free altogether. linux and mozilla are better and more affordable, but the add-ons are what get you

I know I've seen a couple of people on the forum who've said they're happy to photoshop something for people. You might want to post a pic of your car and the color and ask for a favor

RE: Customizing!!!
 

Yeah. I've done that(whoops!) for forum ppl too.Built some pics and sig pics, avatarsand picture layouts for ppl too.
I'd be happy to do it for you, but I am not familiar enough w/the new software yet to really do anything. If only I could get my old program to work on this, but it ain't gonna happen I'm sure. 8 years of learning how to manipulate it down the drain!!

BTW Tracker: Earlier versions of Corel Paint Shop Pro will work w/earlier versions of Windows. And believe me, I did not really want to "upgrade" to Vista, but my old machine was dying a very rapid death. I wanted to wait till all the bugs and support software was worked out for Vista. This machine downloads (automatically) new upgrades and software several times a week!! But too I knew that sooner or later I'd have to learn Vista, so...?
