With Picture Painter, you can let your creativity run wild. Start with a picture of your home, then quickly and easily start changing walls, windows, doors, flooring, countertops, and wall-coverings. You can even change your siding and stone style. With Picture Painter's intuitive tools, you can easily compare colors, textures, trim, and more to find the perfect interior or exterior combinations for your next project. All the changes you can imagine are just a few clicks away. You can use pictures of your own home or try sample photos. Simply specify which regions you want to paint, and immediately begin trying different colors. The whole process of visualizing your project is easy, and it only involves three easy steps:

1. Take or scan a picture. Use your digital camera and snap an interior or exterior photo.
2. Load the picture on your computer. Copy your photo to your computer and mask the areas to paint.
3. Choose colors and materials. Visualize new colors and materials on your own photo before you paint!

Picture Painter includes over 1,000 paint colors including paints from Benjamin Moore and Sherwin-Williams. You can also experiment with thousands of materials and colors from several other brand name manufacturers, such as Armstrong Flooring, Warner Wall-coverings, Corian and Zodiaq countertops, Mohawk Carpets, Cultured Stone, and Daltile.
