Changeable Framed Art

For those of you who are knowledgeable of graphic arts software programs, you may know that you can select an area in a photo and replace it with something else. For instance, if you took a picture of a landscape and the sky was overcast, you could load the picture on your computer and tweak it in Photoshop, Gimp, Photo Pos Pro, Irfanview, etc. First, you would find a photo with a beautiful sunny sky and save it on your computer. Next, you would open this and select the sunny sky with the lasso selector and copy. Then, you would open the landscape photo with the overcast sky in one of the above listed programs. Then, you would select the overcast sky with the lasso selector. Now, paste the sunny sky you just copied into the overcast sky selection. Voila! you now have replaced the overcast sky with a sunny sky.

Okay, so if you got all of that, my next invention concerns physical pictures. If you are like me and like to change decor with the seasons, then perhaps you have thought about changing your framed wall art, but thought it was too much bother.

But, what if someone invented framed art that had pieces you could replace--kind of like a puzzle. So, when it was Summer, you would replace your winter scene of snow covered grass with green grass, your bare trees with flowering trees, etc.  This would also work for holidays--you could add a sleigh to the scene or a decorated Christmas tree.

What do you think? Would you like to be able to do that?
