Has anyone used this? I just came across it and downloaded the trial version for free. I tried it out on a wedding photo I took a couple of weeks ago and I know photos given a painting 'look' can be very cheesy but I have to say I quite like this. Maybe I just wish I could actually paint like this.

I used paint shop pro for years and I love it, one of the things that pushed me into photography, I got an old version free with my first pc and just kept going with it.

It does a lot of what photoshop does and I still use it from time to time usually for more artsy things too.

Think I got a version of Corel painter with my Wacom tablet. Might be a good way to get into it for you.

I'm sure a lot of photographers would turn their noses up at this, but the bride and groom would love that on a canvas.

i wonder how many people actually commission a painting for their wedding. could easily come in at cheaper than their photography costs...
