Repainting your house?  Yeah, yeah, be honest now: you know you’re thinking about it.  But those tiny color swatches at Joe’s Friendly Paint and Remodel never look the same as they do when they cover your walls, do they?  That color that was labeled “dusky rose,” and looked so great in the shop?  Turns out, well, it’s more like hot pink.  Oops!

That’s what paintingWalls is for.  With this new revision, the app “features the most requested enhancements by our users, as well as our own upgrades, in order to get the most complete and easy to use photo editor.”  Shoot some photos of the wall in question, and then use paintingWalls to slap some color on it and see what it might actually look like, instead of simply trusting those swatches and chips.  Because you know for a fact that, once it’s up there, you’re stuck with it for a while.

paintingWalls is available through the app store for an MSRP of $1.99.

Full information below.

Enginy Studios presents a renewed version of paintingWalls. paintingWalls v2.0is no longer a very good idea only, but also a very good application. This version is not an upgrade, but a whole new app with endless possibilities.

paintingWalls v2.0 features the most requested enhancements by our users, as well as our own upgrades, in order to get the most complete and easy to use photo editor. Taking this chance to thank everyone that has trusted Enginy Studios, paintingWalls v2.0 is available as a totally free upgrade of the current paintingWalls.

paintingWalls v2.0 offers new ways for painting your walls.

In addition, the new paintingWalls v2.0 allows you to save your project in order to edit it later. And, for the most careless painters, all the settings and the last data of the current project will be saved automatically when you quit the application.

Xavier Maroñas, Enginy Studios co-founder, has said: “From what paintingWalls appeared to be, we felt the application was not totally ready and the users also noticed it.
