WOW , I just got the AlienSkin Snap Art 1.0. It gives you full control over the painterly look. Pastel, oil, pencil and all the effect you may wish I will have a tutorial up within a couple of days telling you how I got around what I tought was a limitation. I was trying to give back some definition in some details while letting the brush effect… I sincerely recomend this Photoshop Plug-In as a way to enhance and give a new flavour to your images… Many other programs offer

a pinter effect, but the knowledge and the time consuming effort needed to reach a similar effect, is out of range to some artist (like me) that are more gifted with a camera than with a brush.
