Topaz Impression

Art is a unique expression of individual creativity, not a simple visual style. And although Impression does have pre-built effects to start you off, its ultimate goal is to help you create your own personal masterpieces. Impression is designed to help the user transform images into a realistic looking work of fine art, The name of this program was inspired by the style of painting called Impressionism, Impressionism was a reaction to Realism, a style of painting that aimed to depict the subject exactly as shown.  Painters like Monet, Renoir and Degas branched out of the norm and paid less attention to a scene’s details by painting with sketchy brushwork and thick strokes (impasto).
Topaz Impression contains a diverse range of tools, including several brushes and dozens
of textures. Working with the selective parameters, you can control the size, thickness, hue and so on of the decided medium to create your masterpiece

Topaz Glow is offering more than fifty unconventional and quirky filters
With Glow an array of different looks can be achieved - neon looks, for instance, darken the background and make the subject in focus appear to be illuminated with glowing and vivid colors. The graphic looks within Glow can help to give a sketchlike or flattened effect. When used lightly, these effects are perfect for removing unwanted details or adding something very special to the image. If working with intricate details, presets within the Fur and Feathers collection are perfect for helping to distinguish and emphasize small details. There’s the effects in the Fantasy collection such as Mysterious II and Bliss. When applied with a soft light blending mode or reduced opacity, these filters can give your image a hip, contemporary feel about them. As always, ultimate artistic control is gained by creating your own look, which can be achieved by working with the selective parameter sliders for custom effects. With Glow, otherworldly looks that you’ve never seen before will
