Features
A pro workflow automatically transforms a photo into a painting and places it on a paint layer along with a canvas. With a smart built-in layering system the photo can then be transformed again when a new paint layer is chosen and placed on the layer above. The layers are ‘smart’ because the settings are retained per layer allowing changes to brush strokes, color finishes and other settings for infinite variation when blending. There are several ways to blend the layers, change the opacity slider to blend the strokes beneath, or to blend color use the brushes to brush-off the paint style or back-on if too much is removed. This powerful feature is great for creating lighter values in distant elements and colorful ones in the foreground. With layers you can also achieve another level of depth (or depth-of-field) by overlapping larger brush strokes with finer ones-all it takes is this simple technique to achieve a highly creative work.

Paint Styles and Effects
Alla Prima (‘wet-on-wet’ or ‘all-at-once’)-is great for portraits! This beautiful paint style starts by filling the painting with an abundance of brushstrokes. A library of artistic finishes compliments this style by adding light, color and movement.

En Plein Air (in open air)-is perfect for landscapes. This stroke-filled effect consists of eight artists’ palettes created by famous impressionists. Use them as they are or edit the paint colors to make your own palette-save preset feature keeps the palette and all the layers intact for future projects.

Tache (‘spot’ or ‘blot’)-applies broken brushstrokes throughout the painting. This technique of laying thick patches, flecks and dabs of color is great for making paint look as if it stands out from the surface. Apply a light spackling of strokes or fill the painting with dabs of color.

Canvas Layer-supplies the canvas texture and adds a painted edge.

NEW-Soft Paint Effect-creates a hard edge when brushed to show contrast from other edges around it-great for foreground objects

NEW-Background Paint Effect-recedes objects and scenery when brushed for a natural distant and out-of-focus effect

NEW-Aged Paint Effect-cracks paint in a linear or angled fashion with control over crack color, strength, size, angle, spacing and sensitivity

NEW-Painted Edges-creates a painted vignette
