It’s not a big deal but I like when a program eliminates any barriers to exploring what is possible. If you begin to suspect that a particular image might be better in a different style you have to quit the Snap Art 2 interface and go back and select the other style. So, you have to commit yourself to exploring that particular type of painting (or drawing as there are such options as Color Pencil and Pencil Sketch).
When you click there you have 10 sub-menu items, such as: Oil Paint, Watercolor and Pastel. This is a plug-in style program and, after installation, I accessed it via Photoshop CS3’s Filter menu item: Alien Skin Snap Art 2. Which leaves the question: Are there any other options for a photographer who wants to offer painterly images but can’t devote his life to developing the skill of Rembrandt or Renoir? Yes, there certainly is: Alien Skin Software’s Snap Art 2.Īs I think this program is great, I’ll dispense with my main criticism early on, so we can end on some high notes. And so is having a decent amount of time to dedicate to the project. Some degree of painting ability is definitely an advantage in using such programs. Some of these programs have cloning capability that makes life easier by changing the color of the brush to match the underlying color of the photograph.
This is most frequently done with a program that paints digitally on top of the photograph, such as Corel Painter. Many photographers offer their clients something different, something beyond the conventional photograph-a painting based upon the photograph.
