That was it for this week! Have a nice week trying out all these new things!….Paintstorm Studio is a professional digital painting software for a variety of platforms. I will try and do some blogs on both Paintstorm Studio and Perfect Exposure as time permits. So check it out – again, can’t beat the price. Definitely worth downloading just for this plug-in and the price is right!Īnother quick link – Perfectly Clear Photoshop plug-in is offering its Perfect Exposure module for free – I tried it out this week and really like it – lots of sliders to experiment using. Check out my Purple Flowers Tidbits Blog with another image example.Īlso, if you have not heard, Google Nik Collection Photoshop plug-ins are now available for free – this is probably the death toll for these wonderful plugin – they have always been a wonderful supporter of my blog! I love the Nik Viveza plug-in – my all-time favorite. There is an application for iPads besides the stand-alone program on regular computer. Photoshop brushes can actually be brought into this program and many features are similar to both Photoshop and Painter. On a stamped layer, John Derry’s Layer Style Varnish Gloss Light was applied also with the texture changed to Gauze at 69% layer opacity. With this brush a background layer in white was painted on a layer at 55% layer opacity with a Layer Style called Kyle’s Impasto – Just Right with the Gauze texture used to get the nice canvas effect. Now the strokes match the ones created in Paintstorm Studio brushes. Created my own background in PS using a brush made from Grut’s OI Shore Cap (check out Grut’s other wonderful brushes – look under the Resources tab for a free Brush Sampler and free Brush of the Week) and in the Brush Engine, changed the brush texture to Gauze with various texture slider changes and layer opacity of 68%. Used lots of layers in Paintstorm and then saved as a PSD files so they could be manipulated more in PS – they actually come in with no background layer unless you add one.

Since I love to do flowers, it fits my painting expression very well. Check out this 3 minute video if you are interested in what it does – Paintstorm Studio – Overview.

The Help tab on the website has several at the bottom – no audio but if you watch closely, some really nice brushes can be created from them to use along with some great ones provided. (Can also download to try out for 15 days.) I created a few different brushes created from viewing a few of their videos. Know I am taking a little time off from blogging, but wanted to share a new inexpensive painting program called Paintstorm Studio recently purchased (currently $19) that is so much fun.
