In this video workflow tutorial we are going to examine how we can take a relatively simple photo of a horse with a nearly high key background due to the snow beyond and turn it into what looks like a formal oil painting using a combination of Alien Skin Exposure and Snap Art. Few people have that kind of opportunity, however, but here’s the good news: if you learn how to do a great job with post processing you can still produce stunning work that stands out even if your gear isn’t top drawer. I’m a gear guy, and as a professional lens reviewer I am fortunate enough that I am able to use gear worth tens of thousands of dollars every year that doesn’t belong to me. You also need to have some post-processing skills. But like it or not, it isn’t enough to be just a good photographer these days. I do believe that ultimately the old fashioned ingredients of talent and an eye for seeing the world in a unique and creative way are one’s greatest assets in making their work stand out (that, and being motivated enough to go the extra mile of getting out of bed early or investing a little more thought into planning and execution). Snap Art 4 may be used as a standalone program or a plug-in.One of the key challenges for the modern photographer is finding a way to distinguish their work from the homogeny of a million and one other photographers around them that are doing pretty much the same thing. Free upgrades will be automatically sent to everyone who purchased Snap Art 3 directly from Alien Skin Software in August 2013 or later. Owners of earlier versions of Snap Art may upgrade for $69 USD. Snap Art 4 will be available in November 2013 through for $99 USD. Snap Art 4 can now also be launched as a standalone application. Snap Art 4 integrates with many popular photography tools: Adobe® Photoshop®, Lightroom®, and now Apple® Aperture®. In addition, favorites and recently used presets are just a click away. The new visual preset browser shows how each preset will look when applied to an image. The modern dark color scheme reduces distractions around the image. Across the board, everything in Snap Art is faster and moreresponsive. Snap Art 4’s user interface was completely rewritten to make it easy to create great artwork. “Thanks to Snap Art 4’s realistic effects, even aspiring photographers can create prints that are worthy of hanging in a gallery.” “Using Snap Art 4 simply requires a creative idea, not hand-eye coordination or technical training,” said Terence Tay, designer of the new Snap Art 4 software. For more control, the masking tool can bring out extra detail in areas that need it. Snap Art takes care of all the tedious work of drawing brush strokes. It mimics the techniques of human artists, such as layered brush strokes and enhancement of important edges. Snap Art 4 can render hundreds of styles and media, such as oil paint, pencil sketch, watercolor, and crayon. Snap Art 4 can be used as a plug-in with popular host software or as a standalone program for even greater flexibility. It features a redesigned user interface and improved speed. Snap Art 4 transforms a photo into a beautiful work of art that looks completely handcrafted. Alien Skin Software has announced Snap Art 4, the new version of its artistic natural media application for photographers.
