Changing Colours effectively in Paint Shop Pro 7
Open up the car image you wish to edit. Select the Freehand tool from the tools menu on the left of your workspace; it should look like a lasso. Roll your mouse over the Tool Options palette to bring up a list of options for the selected tool. If you can't find it on yuor workspace, go to View > Toolbars and check the Tool Options Palette option. Hit close. It might help to lock the the Tool Options palette as you will be using it quite frequently. To do this, hit the little button with a upside-down triangle which is located next to the Close (X) button. This will stop your palette from rolling up every time your mouse leaves the palette. With your freehand tool selected and your tool options palette open, under Selection Type, select Point to Point from the dropdown menu. Make sure that the Antialias option is checked. This is located at the bottom of the Tool Options palette. Non-antialiasing is where many people go wrong with there photoshopping. Select around the outside of your car, carefully. If you stuff up on your selection hold Shift and Delete to go back a point. Repeat to go back multiple points. Once the outside of the car is selected, hold Ctrl and select the headlights, grill, etc plus any other parts you don't want selected. You aren't actually selected these parts in case you don't know, you are actually subtracting them from the original selection of the outside of your car. If you don't understand what I just said, you will when it comes to changing the colour. With these parts deslected, select the Flood Fill tool (it looks like a paint bucket) from the the tools menu on the left side of your workspace. You should see the options available in your Tools Option palette change. Select the colour you want to change. Underneath Blend Mode, select anything besides Normal. You can always hit Undo (Ctrl+Z) and change the blend mode for different results in colour change. That is it. With the antialiasing selected, you should notice a difference in your selection skills.
Tip: Silver cars work the best.
Tinting Windows
Using your Point to Point lasso, select your car's windows. With your selection still active (in other words - do not deselect) create a new layer - located in the Layer palette. The button to click should look like a piece of paper ontop of another piece of paper and is located in the top-left corner of the palette. Hit OK when a Layer Properties box pops up, there is no need to change anything here. So, you should have a Background layer, a new blank layer entitled Layer 1 and a selection. Pull out your Flood Fill tool again. Select black as your colour. Set the Blend Mode to Normal and fill the selection. It should look crap at this stage. Now, head back to your layer palette. Next to Later 1 you will see a black to white gradient with the letter 100 on it. Slide the slider down to about 40. Done!
Lowering Your Ride
Open up you car image and pull out your Point to Point Freehand tool. Start your selection outside of your image inline with the bottom of the back wheelarch. Come straight across and your selection should meet the bottom of the back wheelarch. Select around the back wheelarch, across the bottom edge of the car, around the front wheelarch and to the front of the bumper. Once you reach the bumper, cut (select) straight across the image until you are off the image. Do not finish your selection here. Instead, select up the side, around the top, and finish your selection back where you started. The whole of your car (and rest of image) should be selected - excluding the wheels. Make sure before you do anything else, black is your background colour. To choose a foreground and background colour, you will see two coloured boxes above the colour picker on the right of your workspace. They will have and arrow between them. The left one is the current foreground colour and the right one is the current background colour. Once you have black as your background, hold Shift and press down until you get down to the height you want it at. You should see a black strip at the top of your screen now. To get rid of it, pull out your Selection tool (should look like a grey rectangle) and make sure the selection type is set to Rectangle. Select the entire image except for the black strip. Now go to Image > Crop to Selection. Your ride has been successfully lowered.
