problem.
right now the truck is dismatled and i dont have any pics of it in the pro street stage.
been looking for a pro street f100 to use for a template.

DennyW, I recall you lightened up a picture for me over a year ago. I am attaching today's work which is the first progress on my car in over a year, noting I have sent it to the Deuce Den also for a discussion of windshield installation. I guess my batteries in the camera are low but I took four pictures and they all came out dark. I brought it up under PAINT but could not figure out how to "lighten" it. I still have the white '29 roadster picture that you made into maroon for me so that shows what you could do for the F100 problem here. Anyway here is my new windshield.

You might want to try downloading Gimp, it'e free and about as powerful as Photoshop. The problem with both is that they take a while to learn and become proficient at.

At least with Gimp if you get discouraged you don't have a ton of money invested in it.

thanks dave.
the maroon on the 29 roadster is similar to the color i want also.

looks cool. wish i could do that. i got the gimp program mentioned. I just cant seem to find the method for complete color change while keeping the original shadows and contrast.
Thanks Dave

like in the door and fender
the original had a lighter area and the new one has the exact same area lightened in red.
i will try more tonight.
i kept trying the pic section by color and air brushing. got patchy.
do they make a pad that you can use a simulated pencil on instead of trying to use mouse control?
Dave

Thanks Denny, How did you do it? Photoshop? Is there any way to do that with PAINT?
