You start with an image, i started with a front of an e30 that just had outlines, like a cartoon!

Then you crop different parts, change colors, add geometric shapes ontop of the image itself. once you are done with all of the layering of objects/colors, ect... then you group it, and save it as an image!

takes a long ass time, but the final product is worth it.

You've got to be thinking of a different program than Excel. Excel organizes and makes data spreadsheets.



As far as I know, you can't do graphics editing with it. Unless you're making pie charts or bar graphs.

I am as confused as josh.

But it sounds like you need to get a better program... come to the new millenium.

It's a MAC version.
Very different from a PC version. I have many option bars to create objects and change colors as well as about 40 different adjustable photo effects along with a precise crop feature allowing someone to "laso" almost anything.

Yeah, find me a free one for a Mac and ill use it. untill then i am happy with what this is capable of.

all microsoft office programs allow you to use microsoft draw tools within them. Right mouse click on a toolbar, and click the drawing toolbar. Honestly its one of the most dumbed down tools on the planet, and is best for text balloons or simple geometric drawings. I think microsoft paint is more powerful.

Excel can do amazing things, and I use macro's a little bit, but I know some people that can make macros do amazing things, drawing cars probably isn't one of them.

ooh just found the picture toolbar too, crop doesn't seem to do much for me on the PC, wonder if there is a visual basic script that could be run

[E30trash]
