New Effects:
- Aged Paint Layer - auto-cracks paintings in a linear or angled fashion with control over crack size, angle and spacing.You can also change crack color to match the canvas below, and increase depth for deeper paint.
- Soft Paint Layer (when brushed) brings out realistic detail to forground subjects, and Background Paint Layer (when brushed) knocks down detail in the scenery for an out-of-focus effect. Use these two layers together for a natural depth-of-field.
- Painted Edges lets you choose from an included library of edges with the option to move, size and rotate it. You can then add color to canvas, adjust paint strokes and blend the edge into the canvas for a beautiful painted vignette.

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.
- 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
