Paint My Place app review: take a look at the results
Introduction
Are you thinking of doing some renovations in your place? Do those include painting? Choosing the perfect color can be a really difficult process and it's often hard to visualize how it will look on the grand scale. The Paint My Place app for your iPod touch, iPad, and iPhone helps you with this process by giving you the ability to virtually paint your space. You can use it for indoor and outdoor painting jobs and gives you a realistic look at how the paint will look.

No Need to Guess
Those tiny paint chips you get at your local paint or hardware store hardly do much as you try to visualize what your space would look like. There’s nothing more frustrating than spending the money on paint, spending the time to paint the space, and then not being happy with the result. With that in mind this app can save you time and money. On the flip side it can also help you discover shades of paint you may not have otherwise considered.

You will see instant results of how the space would look. The app offers suggested palettes and brand names to offer more convenience. The painting app is free to download but there are some features/tools only available in the full version which can be purchased for $2.99.
Put the Brushes Away
Thanks to this iPhone and iPad painting app you can put those brushes away and not worry about having to pick up sample cans of paint. The app comes loaded with three recommended color palettes, and 15 brand names of paint. Before you “paint” you can even apply a base coat/primer to give you the true effects. The painting process is very simple and the app uses a circle guide which indicates where you are painting. You can pick what size brush you want to use, zoom out and in, and pick the opacity of the paint. If you want to undo a brush stroke you can go ahead and do so.

The end result is extremely slick and professional. I find the app quite easy to use however the end result isn’t always realistic looking. Keep in mind a virtual painting job is never going to be the same as the real thing.
