I recently attended a workshop on Nik and Topaz plugins for Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Lightroom photoprocessing software, and I became interested in using Topaz Impression to convert some of my images to a “painterly” look.
Topz Impresssion makes this a simple process, providing many starting points (presets) which can then be modified at will, once the user learns the bells and whistles available in this software tool (toy?). I applied the tool to several of my photos as a learning exercise, and here are some of the results.
Beautiful imagery!
