Photoshop Filters

Snap Art is a Photoshop plug-in that turns your photography into beautiful works of art with a single click. Detailed simulation of individual brush strokes and canvas texture gives results that are indistinguishable from handmade art. The finished piece begs to be hung in a gallery, especially when printed on canvas.

Forget about buying a pen tablet and taking classes to learn how to use complicated painting software. Snap Art expertly applies thousands of brush strokes. You simply show where you want more detail. This improved level of control makes it easy to render stunning portraits.

Filters

Gallery Effect

Gallery

Here is a representative example from each of the 10 filters in Snap Art. Keep in mind that each of these filters can render a wide range of styles. These are simply some typical uses.

Portraits

Portraits

Snap Art helps you create beautiful portraits. When printed on canvas or fine art paper, the finished work of art appears handmade. You can add detail in faces with easy to use focus regions. Start with one of over 700 presets and then customize to create your own signature look.

Landscapes

Landscapes

The possibilities for creating Landscape artwork with Snap Art are limitless. With the Impasto filter, you can create thick, abstract landscape paintings. Turn your snapshot at the beach into a soft watercolor or a bright pastel.

Sketch

Sketch

The Pencil Sketch filter lets you create rough sketches or precise drawings that look like they were drawn by hand. The Color Pencil filter will help you create detailed color drawings that you will want to frame after you see them printed on fine art paper.

Illustration

Illustration

Snap Art has a number of options for modern art too. Comics uses colorful halftone and ink shading to create a comic book look. Stylize simplifies your photo with posterization and stylized pen lines. The Pen and Ink filter turns your photo into a hand-drawn black and white pen illustration.

Testimonials

"I think that Snap Art 2 is a real hit, not least because it's good, clean fun. Furthermore, the effects are so convincing that illustrators, TV prop persons, comic strip producers and other image creators can make serious use of them. The price isn't prohibitive either, considering that you get ten distinctly different effects for 200 dollars. I warmly recommend Snap Art 2 for anyone with his or her playful mind still intact. The risk is that it may become an addiction."

"What's different about Snap Art isn't so much the various effects such as colored pencil and watercolor, it's the amount of control over the effect that goes above and beyond the filters that come bundled with Photoshop."
Derrick Story
The Digital Story

"Snap Art offers a painless way for consumers and professionals to create natural-media art from photographs. Its ease of use and variety of customizable effects make it an efficient alternative to Photoshop's native brushes and actions, and to full-featured art applications like Corel Painter."
