Yeah, I guess I could have been more specific. Photoshop and AutoCad are no problem for me. I can 3D model like a champ, and I have some limited knowledge of rendering AutoCad. For instance, I know how to apply colors/patterns/textures to the materials used.

I guess where I'm really lost is camera matching.

Recently I designed a deck for my home. I wasn't real interested in rendering it properly at first, but was more interested in getting the perspective to match the pictures I took. Am I going about it backwards? Should I set the perspective view of the deck, and then match that to where I take the picture from?

Thanks for the link, I'll check it out.
