226 ULEAD PHOTOIMPACT USER GUIDE
Impressionist
Impressionism began as a 19th century art movement, rejecting traditional
painting techniques and embracing a fresh new perspective of depicting the world.
Although diverse, the movement is generally characterized by spontaneous brush
strokes and colors conveying movement and light. PhotoImpact's Impressionist
effect applies this dynamic appearance to your images.
To use Impressionist:
1. Select Effect: Artistic - Impressionist.
2. Select a texture for the brush. To choose from available presets, click the box
next to the Texture option then select a texture.
Note: To import and use a custom texture, click the down arrow then select Add
Texture.
3. Set the Density, Stroke length, Stroke width, and Stroke opacity. The
higher the settings are, the more abstract the result will be.
4. Increase the Size variation if you want to apply brush strokes in different
sizes.
5. Click OK.
