Topaz Impression helps make your photos more expressive by authentically turning them into art, the way a real painter would. Rigidly realistic photos sometimes leave less room for emotion, personal feeling, and story. Instead of just showing reality, take your viewers on a story by using Impression to capture emotion and feeling rather than details. This can make your work both more powerful and more personal.
Great painters painstakingly make one brushstroke at a time until, months later, they emerge with their masterpiece. A completed work can have thousands of brushstrokes. There's simply no way that someone could achieve such quality and detail by just, say, applying a simple art filter… but that’s exactly what most "photo to art” products do! While some of these cookie-cutter presets may look nice, they won't express your personal creativity in the way that real art does. Home Page - https://www.topazlabs.com/impression
That’s why we designed Topaz Impression to use the same method that great painters use: paint brushstrokes one at a time. (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. This helps you make truly personal art that you can call your own.
Whats New :
Three new sliders:
Stroke Rotation: rotates the angle of the brushstroke.
Rotation Variation: makes the rotation less uniform.
Stroke Color Rotation: a stroke paint deviation slider. If your paint color is yellow, then actual shades of yellow will be applied, not one uniform color.
New background type option:
You now have the ability to use the original image as the background (instead of a solid color). Find this option under the Texture module.
