Is there home design software that allows real photos?

We want to re-design the front of our home (new porch, different paint colors, etc.). Is there any sort of software program that would allow us to use an actual digital photo of the front of our home and then alter the color scheme accordingly? If not, any suggestions as to a FREE user-friendly program that is available for download? Thanks.

1. Hi terry, Your best bet would be to design what you want your house to look like in a home design software application - and skip the "importing" part. There's a lot more information in a 3D home design program then a 2D photograph could provide. Because of that I'd be extremely surprised if such a beast even existed. If you have your heart set on importing a photo, you could probably scan your photo into an image editing program and play with it that way, but that means you won't have access to any of the "home design" features usually found in home design software. Wish I had better news for ya!
