 Pleased with the transaction in general August 20, 2010
Serious buyer
Unfortunately, the software did not work, but I communicated with the seller and she was always very prompt and positive in her responses. Seller gave me a full refund plus the cost of the shipping back! That's commitment! I would definitely buy from her again.
 The ultimate 'What If" tool for the home owner and Home Improver July 28, 2009
D. Potter (Austin, Texas)
This is not the tool you need if you are thinking of room/space additions to a home; it is the ultimate tool for seeing different colors and materials on an existing home or other building; all you need is a digital photo image.
You import a photograph into the software and then you can see that same photograph with different wall materials, roof materials and more, all at your choice.
People who own Roofing companies can show prospective clients what thier structure will look like with different roof materials and colors instantly, painting and siding contractors can do the same with exterior walls AND it is easy to learn and use.

 nice product but not 5 star September 29, 2006

This is a very nice product. Chosing what you want to paint or change is very simple. It installed easily and is quite simple to learn.
My dislikes are that you do not have the option of manually adjusting the color tone. Many of the colors appear to be one color in the color selection panel but are much lighter when placed on the project. It would be nice to be able to manually darken or bighten the color. Because I was limited to the color selections they offer, I was not able to find the right color for my kitchen.
