Question:

Best way to edit/design digital garden pictures on a laptop??

by  |  earlier

I am a landscape gardener, and I am looking for some way to take pictures of a clients garden, upload them to my laptop then sit with the client and re-design the pictures with input from the client. Possibly a graphics tablet? photoshop? touch sensitive screen ? so I can draw straight onto the digital images. It would be good if there was a package available that provided different options of pre made objects such as fencing, block paving, turf, decking, shrubs which could be placed onto the photograph to show what the finished garden would look like. I have seen a kitchen designer use something similar where he took a picture of the clients kitchen, then showed her what it would look like with the new kitchen fitted.

Any ideas

Thanks

  1. I don't know of any programs as such but my ICT teacher has a laptop on which you could twist the screen completely round and fold it flat on the keyboard with screen facing upwards then freely draw on it etc.

    It could be useful, definitely practical for showing illustrations.

  2. There are Computer-Aided Design (CAD) programs that are designed to do exactly what you want and I am sure that using a graphics tablet would the the easiest and most accurate way to use it if you are not well versed in using the touch pad on your notebook.

    Here are a few links to such programs:

    This should get you started ...

    Photoshop while a powerful program is designed for shooters (photographers), pre-press tech's and post production wizards.
