I’m focused on rebooting my creative muscle, and I’m currently in my flower/software phase.  You’ll see a lot of flowers, and special effects.  I have started working to Topaz Impressions, and as I get a feel for the power of the software I am liking it even more.

I own three software tools that allow me to create painterly effects:  Topaz Impressions, Alien Skin SnapArt, and DAP extended.  Each one creates different effects, and offers different levels of manipulation and adjustment.  In the future, I will do a review of the three and outline the advantages and differences.  In the meantime, here are three before and after looks using Topaz Impressions.
