An essential destination for hundreds of thousands of American consumers, www.hunterdouglas.com has just gotten even better. Window fashions leader Hunter Douglas has unveiled a new feature on its award-winning iMagine™ Design Center room visualizer and rendering tool accessible from the homepage.

Visitors can now upload their own room setting photos and view all the Hunter Douglas products in their windows with the new feature called Upload Your Own Photo.

This new functionality is so highly anticipated that it has already won a Best-in-Class award from the Window Covering Manufacturers Association, the benchmark of excellence in the industry – before it even launched. Like the original features iMagine Design Center, the new Upload Your Own photo feature provides the same 4,500 Hunter Douglas window fashion colors, fabrics and materials from which to choose. Other notable functions of the new feature include:

· Provides Photo Tips right at the beginning so consumers can take the best photos possible to take full advantage of the tool

· Recognizes opacities in consumer’s room and adjusts accordingly, i.e. room lighting will darken if an opaque fabric is selected and brighten with a sheer.

· Gives consumers the ability to mask out objects that are in front of windows, such as furnishings and accessories that cannot easily be moved, so that the objects will be shown in front of added window treatments rather than covered by them.

· Stores uploaded images in the “My Workbook” feature on the main hunterdouglas.com site so that consumers can retrieve them later.

· Allows consumers to cover multiple windows at a time within a room.

· Provides the option of displaying window treatments mounted inside or outside of the window frame.

“We encourage consumers everywhere to take photos of their rooms and upload them into the tool to create a personalized portfolio,” concluded Mathews. “Our Dealer Locator is also just a click away to lead them to a qualified Hunter Douglas dealer in their area.”
