Impasto Fingerpaint Preset in the Impressionistic Collection вЂ“ WOW!

I thenВ opened each of the photos in Topaz Impression and then chose the preset I liked the most for that particular image. ExamplesДЇor these example images, I selectedВ a variety of images at randomВ includingВ animals, flowers, and landscapes. I actually didnвЂ™t customize any of them in my examples below, I just picked presets and used them just as they are out of the box. Making these customizations is totally optional. If you want to customize a preset, you just click the slider icon and all the sliders will pop up allowing you to made all sorts of adjustments.

When you are finished playing around with the presets and have your photo just the way you want it, you click вЂњokвЂќВ and your photo is rendered into a painting. You can then customize it if you want, or choose a different one. You simply click a thumbnail and the preset will be applied to the preview on the left. This is a very quick and easy way to see how each of the presets are going to look on your photo. On the right side, you pick one of theВ collections from a drop box at the top, and then all the presets within that collection are shown as thumbnails below it. In the example below, I have split the left side so it shows the before and after versions of the image. On the left side you will see your photo with the preset applied to it. You can adjust a variety of settings such as theВ brush stroke, brush size, and the number of strokes, as well asВ other aspects of the presetВ such as colour hues, lighting effects, and textures. You can simply pick one, as I did in all the examples below, or you can further customize the presetВ using sliders. There are over 140 painting presets in 7 collection to choose from. Topaz Impression uses intelligent drawing technology to add painting effects to your photos. I had a blast seeing what kinds of effects looked good on different types of images. I didnвЂ™t get a chance to review this product the first time around, so I was delightedВ to be able to check it out this time and play with all the presets on some of my photos. History states and section toggles would be welcome, but overall, it's great fun and works well.My friends over at Topaz Labs have done it again with the latest release of Topaz Impression, their plugin for adding artistic effects to photos. I'd love to load Impression's brushes into Photoshop so any masking or edits could match. (It just does this very fast!) Impression can paint over 10,000 brushstrokes in less than a second, all while completely following your artistic direction.' Whatever mathematical wizardry drives their algorithm under the hood, it does seem to do that, with strokes that move with the nuances of your images. It takes a sensitive eye to select increments of each adjustment as it relates to your subject and resolution, but patience and experimentation will yield lovely results.ДЄccording to Topaz Labs, they 'designed Topaz Impression to use the same method that great painters use: paint brushstrokes one at a time. Or start from scratch with 17 realistic brushes and thousands of ways to apply them. Choose one as a starting point, and tweak the sliders to your heart's content. When you open an image in Impression, it prepares previews of its more than 100 presets. If you want to add stylized looks to evoke a mood, fit a particular design, or sell extra prints to art-loving customers, this is a good tool: One that more than fills the void left by the removal of the Oil Paint filter in Photoshop CC 2014. Impression works as a standalone editor or Adobe Photoshop plug-in. Photographers may balk at this statement, but let's acknowledge that Topaz Impression is a photo-manipulation product, and presume they define 'authentic art' as painterly art with a capital A.

Topaz Labs says it's excited about Impression, because it's the first product to help you create real, authentic art. Superior Replacement for Retired Oil Paint Photoshop Filter
