RoddaVision recommends using any of the Epson Color Stylus Photo printers with Epson Photo Quality photo paper for use with the RoddaVision application.

RoddaVision has two main components: The Viewing Program and The PhotoEditor
The RoddaVision viewing program lets you select the colors you wish to see and 'applies' them to the surfaces in the photos.

To use, simply select the photo you wish to color and click on the 'paint' menu bar. Now you can easily change the color of the walls, trim-even the furniture or draperies-just by clicking on the various color tags. You can save up to four different color schemes of each photo.

The PhotoEditor lets you import your own photos, plans or drawings into the program in a format that allows you to mask off sections of the picture for the different colors you wish to test, e.g., exterior siding, trim and accent sections.

Troubleshooting

I would like to print a larger photo.
Please refer to the manual under export feature. You can print larger pictures an A4 size.

Why should I register?
It is important to register so that Rodda Paint can notify you by email for any future color updates, and send you all new colors right to your email box. You can also be notified directly about any future special paint offers.

I am having trouble outlining around edges of the photo.
Always use the zoom tool on the Rodda vision tool bar. This will allow you to stencil pixel by pixel if needed. This will give you the best result when printing the final color summary.

RoddaVision Update

Version 2.0 - July, 2002

It has many more subtle improvements, such as in the Photo Editor - when loading an existing .hse file - a thumbnail of the image appears. The tool and function upgrades are just fixes and additions to make it a better running, more powerful program.
