Xara Xone Guest Tutorial 98 - Edited by Gary W. Priester - 1 JUNE 2011
©2011 Madalynne Crowe
In this tutorial, we will take a photo image of a white car and change the color of the
paint to give it a rich, custom 2-tone color paint job. We will be working a lot with layers
to help us keep track of alterations as well as to give us better control. We will be
drawing over the top of the original photo to give the illusion that the car was painted in
the colors of our choice.
Note: This tutorial is ONLY applicable with cars with a white, gray or silver color
paint. If you try to use a photo of car with any other color, please be aware that
this tutorial Will Not Work.
Note: The Mustang is a virtual car photo and was created by Madalynne Crowe
within the video game GRAN TURISMO 5 for the Playstation 3. The same techniques
used in this tutorial can obviously be applied to a real photo.
Some experience with Xara or with another vector based drawing applications will be
helpful. If you should get hung up, click the e in the nav bar to send me an e-mail.
You can see more of my before and after custom paint job images here.
