Photoshop help please

18 years ago

This is a follow up to my previous question about my ugly pink mortar.

I am pretty sure that we will be going with a stucco or board-and-batten look to the new addition. Would someone be willing to photoshop some ideas of this for me? Throughout the addition, I just assumed we would brick. That is, until I realized the pink mortar dilemma.

Here are some of my favorites that I have liked:

garage door styles:

(first one shown in the cream colored primer) OR

(number five).

I would like a similar garage entrance door, but it must have a window.

The lanai railing: I would like something very simple. I actually found a new city owned property that has exactly what I would like so I will check with them at a later time. Otherwise, I think this simple one would be nice.

I would not be using a swirl pattern as shown at the top.

Thank you for any assistance!

I think folks here are willing to help with photoshop, but this is too complex... ... too vague... not enough to go on to know where to start or how to help you. JMO, knowing some of what's involved. Just didn't want you to feel unloved. :)

Yep, I looked at this one too and wasn't quite sure what the OP wanted. Lots of details for sure! I keep saying I'm going to print it out and look at it later but haven't had a chance yet. So sorry!

Sorry for the vague post =( I guess my links which I meant to be helpful were actually a bigger pain in the neck for you all. What can I do to make this easier???? I can list links, but only know how to do one at a time. Would that help? And as far as the ideas/ urls I listed, they were just links that I thought would help in using photo shop. I haven't a clue how you guys do this stuff, so I thought more info would be better than less. I am really sorry! Tell me what you need =)

Sorry alohamillion, I hope we didn't offend you. For me, I was just confused as to what you are looking for. Try to simplify it for us if you can. You want some sort board and batten exterior shopped in or stucco? And then a new garage and deck above or something? It's not real clear.

And if it's at all possible to put the actual photos in the text, that helps me out alot. For instance, I can't save the photo of your house to my computer because webshots won't allow me to copy. I could cut and paste on screen shots I guess but that's more steps.

What you are asking sounds a bit over my head but I feel bad if no one helps...so maybe I could figure it out. I'm also one day away from vacation so time is getting short for me.

Hi Lindybarts,

No, I was not offended at all. And you definately do not need to worry or feel badly if I don't get any help on this. You have a vacation to look forward to so no worries at all!! =) We just got back from S Cal for spring break...which made the cold weather and snow dusting even more YUCKY! Hopefully you are going somewhere warm and fun and spring will have sprung by the time you get back home.

If anyone else is interested or able to photoshop for me and I can answer add'l questions, just lmk. I don't expect anyone to work too hard on this either though. I wasn't sure how photoshop worked nor if it was complicated or hard to do.

Thanks for any help. And especially thanks, Lindybarts, for being so sweet =)

Stacey,

It is one of those things that is easy to learn, but hard to master. But even under the best of circumstances, it is amazingly time consuming.

I looked at your pics too... and was left confused about what you wanted done. You want a gargage door and a garage entrance door, I understand. But I can't even figure out your picture... You have two dormers? Am I getting it right that they are basically the same size, but one comes out further than the other and has a larger window?
