App Usage Workflow with Ametra App

Project Setup and Hierarchical Interface

• Create Project: The interior designer sets up the project "Family Residence" in the Ametra App app. Hierarchical Structure: Within the project, areas such as "Living Room," "Kitchen," and "Master Bedroom" are defined. Each area contains items like walls, ceilings, doors, and windows.

Color Selection and Management

• Target Color Assignment: In the "Master Bedroom" area, the designer uses the "Target" tab to capture the color of a fabric sample provided by Family using the iPhone camera.
• Paint Matching: Using the "Match Paint" tab, the app suggests several paint colors that closely match the fabric color. The designer filters options by preferred paint brands available locally.
• Color Management: All selected colors are stored in the project's dedicated Color Tab for easy reference and application across different areas.

Painting Process Control

• Before Painting: Before starting the painting of the "Master Bedroom," the contractor takes initial photos of the walls using the "Control" tab for baseline comparison.
• During Painting: Progress photos are taken at various stages to document the painting process and ensure adherence to design specifications.
• After Painting: Final photos are captured to showcase the completed "Master Bedroom."

Additional Features

• Media and Notes: Throughout the project, photos of construction milestones and design decisions are added to relevant areas and items within the app. Written notes accompany these media files for comprehensive documentation.
• Paint Library Access: The app's extensive paint library, containing over 7000 colors from popular brands, facilitates informed paint color selections.
