is it possible to edit photos in google sketchup?

Q. ok, what i wanna do is import a photo into google sketchup, and, if possible, raise and lower the height of the object using the tool. it would be so cool. is it possible? thanks

A. Yes

So paste the photo on a flat surface

Right click on the surface, go to "Texture", then "Position.

Drag the red pin to the bottom left, the green pin to the bottom right, and the blue to the top to stretch it.

Can anyone tell me the difference between Autodesk Revit Architecture and Autodesk VIZ?
Q. My purpose is to find a software to draw some Architectural concepts and have some rendering as output. Wich one of the above is suitable for me? Easiness is very important, due to the fact I'm not an Architect. Any other software for my goals?

A. First, Revit is not an AutoCAD based product as the previous answer suggested. It is owned by Autodesk which makes AutoCAD, but it's in no way based on AutoCAD, infact it was designed as an alternative program to AutoCAD or AutoCAD Architecture to design buildings.

Revit can both do building designs and decent rendering output. It can't do photo-realistic design work, but more than good enough renderings to get your design intent across.

That being said... to use Revit correctly you really need to understand how a building goes together. Have you thought about the free download, SketchUp? It can do some interesting things and many architects use it to define the initial design of their structures before moving into construction documentation.
