![]() However, once the mask has been created, changing the wall color is really simple. In addition, the more steps you take to mask the room, the more likely the app is to run out of memory and not be able to complete the mask. While the masking of the room started well, the app tended to bog itself down when the masking becomes more complex. If you use the paint bucket option, it will attempt to select the rest of the wall you have already started “painting.” The app uses a masking technique that allows you to fill in the area you want to change. To select the wall, the user must first "paint" a mask on the wall. Our lobby has white walls, so we decided to add a little color to one of the walls. This "real scale" will allow for the app to change the dimensions of the elements we add to the room in order to create a more accurate depiction of the final product. The next step is to determine the scale of the room by providing measurements such as the length and height of walls. In our experience, we had to adjust the overlay slightly, but it was very close from the start. This feature positions the overlay close to where you need it to help minimize the amount of adjustments. One helpful feature of this step is that the app attempts to "auto detect" the corners of the room. Adjusting the room takes a little practice, but once you get the hang of it, the grid overlay is very intuitive and easy to align with the shape of the room. The app uses a three dimensional grid tool overlay to suggest the edges of the walls, ceiling and floor. Once the photo has been taken, the next step is to establish the depth and perspective of the room. This helps with mapping the perspective and scale by identifying the corners of the room. It is recommended that the photo include at least two walls, the ceiling and the floor. ![]() To create a new design, the app includes the option to take a picture, select a picture from your camera roll or use an empty room.
