Hi All, I've a photo of a building. I want to get an photo image of some high-end architectural shingles and show them on the building to simulate what a roof replacement might look like with these dimensional shingles. Not sure where (which program) or how to do this best.

 

I see a need to fill a pattern or shape with these as they'll need to be a repeating design. They'll need to scale so they look normal size and I was playing around with the perspective tool in Photo and can achieve some of what I want, but not all.

 

If anyone has pondered this and discovered a work-flow that works, please respond with the steps necessary to achieve this effect.

 

Thanks – Timber

Hi Timber,

 

This is achievable in Photo using the quick steps below.

 

1, Open your image and insert Quickshape

2, Switch to the Gradient Tool, on the Context tool bar change the Type to Bitmap, now select your image, click Open and adjust.

3, Now using the Perspective Tool adjust the shape

 

See the before and after images below.

 

Hope this helps.

Thanks, it looks good, but I suspect the "replacement shingles" are not scaled correctly, they look large to my eye. So what I want to is to scale a shingle pattern to a proper size and have it look the way it would if real shingles were in place. I suspect it requires tile a pattern/photo and that closer shingle might look bigger than shingles further away, which I suspect would appear smaller in size. Thanks!

Hi Timber,

 

Once you have opened the image of the replacement you can then adjust sizing so it matches better using the nodes.
