I hope I can post this here and not in the "nobody drives a vette -off topic" section.

I am a home builder and I struggle with exterior colors. I currently have a home under construction. The outside veneer is James Hardie siding. I wondered if anyone is experienced with photoshop enough to change the colors of the exterior if I give you come pictures.

Also, I would like some advice on which "photo enhancing" program is the best, simplest to use, and the most economical.

Thanks in advance,
STEVE

I have both Photoshop and Paint Shop Pro. Photoshop uses a LOT of resources, and while it is the undisputed best, it's a huge program, and for small quick stuff, I recommend Paint Shop Pro. It's also a LOT cheaper of a program, and is easier on small systems with low chip speed and memory.

Photoshop is very complex and not too user friendly (especially for the beginner)... Paint Shop Pro is easier but for the money I recommend Photoshop Elements, version 2.0 comes free with many $80 digital cameras and does everthing you need.

Good call. I forgot all about Elements. I'm just glad you didn't plug Microsoft Paint.

Hi Steve, I'll (try to!) change the colour for you. You can e-mail the pics straight to me if you want and I'll get on it... Pm me for address
