I was wondering if someone could either explain or point me to a how to online. We are in the process of painting the deck on the front of our house, my wife is having a hard time picking the right color. Is there an easy way to take a photo of the house & deck into Corel and be able to change the colour of the deck easily, most likley multiple times...

I've seen it done before on certain websites and such, but how difficult is it to do in Corel?

Thanks

I think you may have to draw a vector deck and overlay it on the photo.

fairly easy if your current deck is whiteish

draw overlay shape(s)

color, set transparency to uniform, change transparency operation to multiply

Maybe one of the paint company visualizers that let you upload a pic would work

Bite the bullet and buy some samples. I would hate to buy paint at $25 - $35 gallon based on a computer monitor. If it's going to be a solid color stain it will work just like paint and darken as it dries. Then you'll be able to see the samples in different light and times of day.
