francwoods Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 I wasn't sure how to search for this topic... so started a new one. Pointers to existing topics are welcome! Is there a way for AP to try out color choices for exterior house painting? I've separated out the main body, trim, garage doors, and front door. Then used the color palette from the paint vendor imported to swatches. I created a fill layer for a color and made it a child of one of the segments then set the fills blend mode to "color". It "seems" like that should work but not sure I'm getting the correct rendering of the colors.Suggestions?! Help please! _HouseRendering.afphoto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl123 Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 This is just for the garage door colours - I did not do anything to the other colours of the house - you will need to check/adjust them later I added the 5 paint colours to the bottom of the screen as a swatches group just so I could see what I was aiming for. I then added a black & white adjustment layer to the garage door to neutralise the existing colour and unticked the white fill layer you had Then I changed all the paint blend modes from "Colour" to "Multiply" _HouseRendering-b.afphoto Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.

kaffeeundsalz Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 With the way the layers are arranged in @carl123's approach, the black & white adjustment also affects the garage door choices, thus eliminating every possible tint that a specific color may have. You can already tell from the "Wolverine" color that the original sample is very slightly tinted towards cyan but entirely loses that tint when it's applied to the garage door front. You need to drag out the Garage Door Choices group from the Garage Doors pixel layer and place it above the doors with a separate mask applied to it in order to retain the color.

francwoods Posted May 25, 2020 Author Share Posted May 25, 2020 That looks like it's working. What I did with the B&W Adjustment is push the reds and yellows to 200% to wash out the underlying color. Then selected a color with the Multiply blend mode. Also created a file with just the colors being considered. It helps but the monitor colors never do match the paint chip samples we get. I guess that's just the difference between on screen vs print / paint! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jillian Riddle Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 Thanks everyone for the info. Some of the apps like Paint my House are from the US and don't appear in my App store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
