colour changes

[adwb]

Does any one have any idea or can suggest to whom I should peak about this question?

I have a basic design ( attached see link TEST ) that is used on a framing mount website to illustrate a product. I see some other framing websites like ours have choice of colours the client can select for the mount to be cut from. On these websites when a color is selected the image colour changes to match this. has any one any idea how to achieve this ?

PS I do have instantly using email activated but I do not always get notifications via emails so if I am slow to respond my apologies.

You have two ways. the first is all Xara can offer.

BEST
Create a colour swag of all your variations.
For each colour, create a Layer that is an overlay against your basic picture(s).
Then link the colour to the Layer.

HARDER
If you have any coding experience you could Name a frame and then use some JavaScript to change the colour.

Have a look at the attached two files.

Test 2 places a colored area over your matts and uses a Hue transparency to change the color. If you want deeper colors the bottom colors need to be darker.

To be more accurate, create your colored samples individually so you can control the colors.

The second file shows how to do what Acorn is suggesting using layers to display the color variations.
