Facia and backdrop nifty trick
Posted by FJ and G on Tuesday, December 20, 2005 2:30 PM
Now that I'm a married man, I have to repaint the house, she says.

Well, well, I'm SURE that if I paint it, she'll change her mind in 6 months and want it a different color.

Sooooo.

Using photoshop, I made the room many colors and will let her choose which she wants. (note I wasn't too exact in the paint job, as I wanted to do it quickly)

I used the sampling tool to sample colors, then the wand tool to select, then the paintbucket. 1st photo is natural room color; which is the boring boring eggshell color that ALL of the developers paint mindlessly to their cookie cutter homes.

You too can use this for fascia and backdrop colors. I've seen some really nifty fascias and then I've seen some that are, well, not so nifty…
